Introducing vegan egg roll salad with tofu. This salad is crunchy and won't get soggy because it is no lettuce salad, it is made with cabbage. This salad has an amazing ginger soy dressing, packed with flavor and nutrients. This is the type of salad you can make at the beginning of the week and eat every day.
I love a good salad recipe. For more yummy salad recipes try my sushi salad or my butternut squash and brussels sprout salad.

Made it for a friend (who is not vegan) and he liked it!!! I am going to try it with rice paper for a “spring roll”-type dish.

Thanks Cindy!

If you’re looking for a super quick and simple vegan meal, make this! It literally took me under 15 minutes since I used an airfryer for the tofu. And what comes to the taste, it really blew my mind how the egg roll taste came in.
So if you don’t feel like cooking or don’t have time, please, this is it! I highly recommend.

If you’re looking for a super simple vegan meal idea, I REALLY recommend this one. Literally took me like under 15 minutes since I used an airfryer for the tofu. And what comes to the taste, it blew my mind how accurate the egg roll taste came out.
Trust me, this is the one you want to make if you don’t feel like cooking or don’t just have time.

Thank you Ada!!

It is my first time trying a vegan recipe and I'm really surprised by the result! I didn't think such ingredients all combined could make this flavourful salad. I give it a 4 star for the moment because I want to prepare other vegan/vegetarian dishes to achieve a wider perspective on this world. Keep up the good work Kristi!
