¾CupVegan Mayo
¼CupCeleryDiced

Instructions
Egg Whites
In a small sauce pan, whisk together almond milk, agar powder, and black salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat, gently whisking, until it comes to a simmer, then remove from the heat immediately.
Let the mixture cool to almost room temperature for about 15-20 minutes, gently whisking every 5 minutes to prevent separation.
Once the mixture has cooled, pour into egg molds, a deviled egg serving tray, or any other shallow glass container and transfer to the fridge. After about 30 minutes, they should be hard enough to slice.
Slice your 'egg whites' into different sizes and set aside until ready to mix with the remaining salad ingredients.
Egg Salad
In a blender or food processor, add half of the tofu, mayo, mustard, pickle juice, black salt, turmeric, and sugar (optional). Blend or process until creamy.
In a separate mixing bowl, add the other half of your tofu and mash with a fork. Add celery, green or red onions, dill, chopped 'egg whites,' and the creamy tofu/mayo mixture. Stir this together and make yourself a sandwich!
