This is a vegan sandwich filling that is very similar to egg salad. I don't usually go for "tasty fakes" but this is a good way to substitute some tofu into the diet. The silken tofu, coloured with turmeric, forms the base of the "yolks" and adds enough moisture that a binder like mayonnaise is not needed. The firm tofu, flavoured by the onion and vinegar, forms the "whites".
