Help me veganize this "ancient" German nudel salat (spaghetti salad)
I want to veganize this wet salad recipe.
- Probably gonna replace the spaghetti with beans, at least once I've done a test run.
- I'd like to partially or completely replace the mayo with something less fatty, maybe cashew? Hopefully some black Himalaya salt can emulate the egg flavor.
- 500g (17.5oz) spaghetti (dry weight)
- 600-700g (21-25oz) smoked sausage (about 1/3" pieces?) - Seitan w/liquid smoke, probably.
- 5-7 hard boiled eggs (diced/chopped or mashed even) - nothing I guess
- 3 apples (chopped)
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 300-350g (10.5-12.5oz) mayonnaise - I figure using a cashew based cream I can replace both mayo and egg at once. Might add some mayo or oil if the salad needs fat.
- 500-600g (17.5-21oz) pickled cucumber (vinegar, not brine - chopped)
Stir in some milk if the salad starts getting dry.
I'd love some instructions on the mayo/egg replacement, as well as the smoked sausage, to make sure the chances of success are as high as possible on the first try.
You're viewing a single thread.
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.
