Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup minced dill pickles
  • 2 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 14- ounce package extra firm tofu squeezed of all moisture (see notes)
  • 3 chopped celery stalks
  • 4 Tablespoons chopped yellow onion
  • 1/2 cup vegan mayo
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 8 pieces of sandwich bread
  • romaine lettuce leaves

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine minced pickles, maple syrup, and white wine vinegar. Stir well and set aside for about 15-30 minutes to marinate.
  • Put block of drained tofu in a medium bowl and crumble with a fork or with your hands until it is all broken up into small pieces.
  • Place the remaining ingredients in the bowl with the tofu.
  • Drain the pickle mixture and add it into the tofu mixture. Combine all ingredients until completely mixed.
  • Spoon mixture onto slices of bread lined with romaine lettuce or scoop into lettuce cups. Serve immediately.

Notes

Note 1: For the tofu, I like to freeze it before using it. Take it out of the freezer 24 hours before using it and then proceed to squeezing out the liquid. If you don't have time to freeze the tofu, it will be ok and still work just fine.
