vegan Tofu "Egg" Salad

The cumin hints at the earthy flavor of egg yolks. You can leave it out if you don't like cumin. This can also be made with regular tofu if you want a firmer texture.

Equipment:
two medium bowls
whisk

Ingredients
1 tetra pack extra firm silken tofu, like Mori-Nu
1 or 2 celery ribs, minced

1/3 cup mayonnaise, vegenaise, nayonaise, etc
1 tsp lemon juice or cider vinegar
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp dry mustard (3/4 tsp if you like spicy)
1/4 tsp sea salt, or to taste
1/4 tsp celery seed (optional)
1/8 tsp cumin
black pepper, to taste
other fresh or dry herbs like dillweed, chives

Directions
Empty the tofu and minced celery into a bowl, set aside.

Combine all the other ingredients in a bowl, and whisk until combined.
Pour over the tofu, and mix with a fork until the tofu breaks down and it looks like egg salad.
