Whatever the reason, whether it be taste, texture, comfort, or ease, it seems eggs and dairy tend to be the foods most challenging to eliminate from our diets. Thankfully, it's easier than ever to live happily without them. When we make this eggless egg salad for visitors and to Catskill Animal Sanctuary, we prove it with every bite. Tofu takes on the familiar flavor and color of this family favorite. Turmeric, a deep, orange spice gives this dish a sunny, yellow hue. Sulfur-scented black salt (a.k.a. kala namak) adds the authentic taste and smell of eggs. Enjoy this creamy, comforting salad on top of fresh greens, stuffed in a pita, rolled up in a wrap, or on your favorite crackers.

Stir in celery and onion until everything is incorporated. Chill or serve immediately as a sandwich filling, on salad greens, or on crackers.
