¼ cup vegan mayonnaise
2 tbsp prepared yellow mustard
3 tbsp dill relish
2 tsp dill pickle juice or vinegar
½ tsp of salt

Directions:
Slice the tofu into 6 slabs crosswise and blot well on paper towels or clean tea towels. Place it in a mixing bowl, and mash well with a large fork or potato masher. Add the diced celery and onion.
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, dill relish, vinegar, salt, garlic powder, onion powder & pepper, Mix well. Pour the mayonnaise mixture over the tofu mixture, and stir well to combine.

Good to Know:
This is delicious! My whole family enjoys it. It’s made with pretty common pantry items so I can usually put it together quickly. You could also use lettuce leaves as the “wrap” to make it super healthy.
Tofu contains several anti-inflammatory, antioxidant phyto-chemicals making it a great addition to an anti-inflammatory diet. Tofu is also a good source of 'complete' protein — meaning that it has a well balanced amino acid profile — in addition to fiber, potassium, magnesium, iron, copper and manganese.
