Egg mayo used to be my go-to sandwich filling before going vegan. I love making replicas of recipes I used to enjoy, and I have managed to replace my previous favourite filling with tofu 'egg' mayo, which tastes almost identical! This sandwich filling is great for any long time vegans or people looking to gradually reduce their animal-product intake.
Other than in sandwiches I don't tend to eat much mayo, however I know that it is something a lot of vegans miss when they cut out dairy products. Thankfully there are a fair few vegan-friendly mayonnaise options available to purchase in stores. My personal favourites that I recommend to try are Follow Your Heart Veganaise and Hellmann's Vegan Mayonnaise.
To make the filling taste like the real-deal, I use kala namak (aka black salt). The sulphurous smell of this rock salt helps to create the perfect eggy illusion, along with my blend of seasoning. I also use black salt in my other vegan 'egg' dishes such as tofu scramble.
