Vegan Egg and Olive Salad

If you’re familiar with egg and olive salad pre-vegan diet change, then you know how easy and simple this lighter than air mayonnaise based salad is. For all you that have a high appreciation for this quick and easy bite but feel you’ve waved goodbye to it when you chose a vegan dietary lifestyle— We got you! Our VEGAN EGG AND OLIVE SALAD has the same bright and briny, creamy and tangy element in every bite just as good as the real thing. Tofu steps in for the eggs and fills this salad with plant-based protein. As you may know, we like to give dishes our Bunnies twist and this recipe is no exception! We’ve added capers to our Vegan Egg and Olive Salad to step up that yummy salty briny element. Whether you pile it between slices of bread or with your favorite fresh fixings to make a healthy lunchtime salad, you’ll be ready to dig in! So, let’s hop to it!
