Eggless "Egg" Salad

This is one of my favorite recipes! Although it's wonderful as a sandwich spread, it's also great as a spread for crackers or rice cakes. Sometimes I use it as a veggie dip or as a salad, mounded in a crisp bed of Romaine. This recipe is simple with huge flavor! It's liked by all --- even those who say they don't like tofu. The secret to this recipe is: do not substitute brands. The Chick'nish and Veganaise create a perfect meld of flavors.

1 package extra firm, water packed tofu
1 can olives, chopped
Bill's Best Chick'nish (chicken-style seasoning; do not substitute;health food store)
Veganaise (soy mayonnaise)


1. Crumble the tofu, leaving it chunky.

2. Add olives (I used whole olives and sliced them in thick slices).

3. Season with a fair amount of Bill's Best Chick'nish.

4. Moisten with Veganaise until the consistency of egg salad. Taste and adjust seasonings (you need quite abit of the Chick'nish).

Bread Sticks

1/2 cup coconut
1/2 cup ground walnuts
2 cups flour of choice*
3/4 cup water

1. In blender, blend nuts smooth in the water. Mix well with the flour.

2. Roll by hand into sticks 5" or 6" long, or roll dough out 3/4" thick as for cookies and cut into 3/4" strips 5" or 6" long.

3. Place on baking sheet to bake at about 325 F for 40 minutes, more or less.

NOTE: Garbanzo(besan/chickpea), quinoa, rice, etc flours if desired for gluten-free. One type or a blend of several. If you can eat wheat, these are terrific with 100% whole wheat! Garnish with chopped walnuts or sesame seeds before baking if desired.
