HOW TO PREPARE:

FOR EGG SALAD:
1.-Mix everything but the eggs well.
2.-Chop eggs to desired chunkiness and fold into mixed ingredients.
3.-Add a few drops of Tabasco sauce if desired.

old in with remaining ingredients.
3.-Egg less salad should sit for at least an hour, refrigerated, before serving.
4.-Lemon or a few drops soy sauce work great in tofu based salads.
5.-Process meats find in a food processor for more of a spread consistency.
6.-Do not process with the remaining ingredients until you get the meat broken down almost to the size you want.
7.-The spreads work very well on lettuce leaves for roll ups The chunky version works great over lettuce for a salad meal.
