Tofu and black salt for the egg, with nooch if you want the flavor of the yellow. I'd do tahini for the mayo

Come join the Vegan Home Cooks!
Participation is really easy, just take a picture of what you cooked today and post it, no recipes needed.
This is a public forum for a discord server of friends who are all vegans and cook at home for their families.
We are here to share some inspiration, to see what others are doing and to stay engaged in something that is both our hobby and a required task.
This forum is not a "food porn" community, a recipe book or a place to teach you how to cook. It is a place for people who already cook to meet other people like themselves and provide on topic support and conversation as much as long distance friends on the internet can do. We are doing show and tell about what we made and we don't care about its instagram worthiness.
Veganism isn’t a diet but I have to eat every day. This is for the vegan home cooks. Anything non vegan will be deleted.
Rules
1. Be Vegan.
If it is not vegan it doesn’t belong here… or anywhere.
2. Post home cooking.
No restaurant or fast food. This is what every other vegan space is about and we don’t want to promote any large or small business tyrants.
We’re an active community of vegan home cooks that like to talk about what we are cooking today.
4. Do not make any rude comments or digs at anyone’s food, cooking style, specific diet, restrictions or technique.
While we are all cooks, we all have different requirements and we’re not asking for help, we are doing show and tell.
5. Do not use trademarked brands
Use generic names. We’re cooking with tvp not whatever business brands it and we’re not trying to turn comrades into billboards. No plant-based vegan-pandering capitalist crap like Impossible, Beyond, Dairy-company owned “vegan” cheese.
6. Do not ask for a recipe without otherwise engaging the OP (No posts that are just “recipe?”)
We are not food bloggers. Sometimes we're excited to share and will tell you the recipes we used but this isn't required. Instead try doing your own research and tell us what you learned and we can talk about it.
7. Careful with making unasked for suggestions.
Sometimes we like to hear suggestions but you should be nice about it and know the person you are making suggestions to. We are in the discord and you can get to know us that way. If you are just a visitor from the fediverse, this isn’t the place for you to start telling other people what to do.
8. Adults Only.
While this isn't a community for adult material we expect everyone who participates to be an adult. If you have a gross and profane username you will be removed.

I'll try out scrambled tofu for the first time to see if I feel it would work. Thanks for the suggestion.
A soft tofu for the egg?
I haven't made it but people seem to have success with aquafava mayo.
That could also work. I've only made it once and it ended up pretty runny, but that shouldn't cause any real issues in this case.
I think this might be a hell of a challenge with the amount of meat and eggs that go into the salad.
My advice: look for a vegan salad recipe that has some similarities and add ingredients from this recipe like the apples en the pickled cucumber and maybe a vegan sausage if you want. The black Himalaya salt is a good idea too.
Maybe look for a vegan potato salad and switch out the potatoes or something like that
Yeah, it would certainly be scaled down in my case. Working backwards from a somewhat similar recipe is a pretty good idea.
I'd use baked soy curls with smoked seasonings for the sausage. Just hydrate soy curls in soy sauce, water, smoked paprika, liquid smoke, nooch. Bake 350 until they are chewy as you'd like.
Chopped hearts of palms for the boiled eggs
Silken tofu mixed with vinegar and seasonings for the mayo
I'll see if soy curls are available online in my country. I haven't seen any when shopping for ingredients so far. If it's basically the same as soy chunks I can probably substitute that. Heart of palms is something I'd have to look around for. Probably won't be the first idea I try out, but I definitely want to give it a shot at some point. Thanks!
