Recipe Directions

  • 1. Place everything (except celery and red pepper) into a high-speed blender. Blend very well until it resembles a smooth, creamy Hollondaise sauce.
  • 2. Pour yellow “egg salad” liquid mixture into a large bowl. Add finely chopped celery and red pepper.
  • 3. Stir everything together with a spoon until celery and red pepper are nicely coated.
  • 4. Enjoy immediately or store for up to 4 days in the fridge.

The Rawtarian's Thoughts

By The Rawtarian

This cashew-based mock egg salad recipe tastes surprisingly like the real thing.  It’s very rich and satisfying, and tastes best when balanced with light, fresh veggies, especially romaine lettuce. 

If your blender isn’t powerful and has a difficult time blending harder items, consider soaking the cashews in warm water for an hour to soften them. Rinse and pat dry before using.

Another idea is to add some chopped mushroom to the red bell pepper and celery. The chewy texture of the mushrooms resembles the texture of egg whites.

Just have started the raw diet, in week two. So far i love it, especially for energy reasons. Quickly came across this looking for something to compliment the cashew apple salad. And this was AWESOME. so tasty, had to add some curry to replace the turmeric, but seemed to work just fine.
I'm not doing vegan - raw, only because i am looking forward to trying some of my own ceviche at home. But defiantly your website is making raw really fun, and also simple.

I forgot to say that I only eat raw sometimes, as I have just started incorporating raw into my diet, so obviously potato salad wouldn't be raw, but great for vegans! :)

I have just eaten this for my lunch and it was delicious! Very rich, but as you said, you only need a little. I added some chopped avocado at the end, as mentioned in a previous post, and it worked really well. I reckon it would be lovely on potatoes for a summer potato salad too!

I added salad cut hearts of palm to this recipe... Not raw, but a good soft texture like egg whites :-)

Oh wow! With all these good comments I'm ready to give this recipe a try for my Raw Potluck on Saturday! :) I wanted to know tho, how many portions does this recipe gives? And does it have to be eaten rightaway or we can keep it in a sealed container in the fridge for a day or two? Thanks dear, and amazing blog btw! :)

Hi Audrey Rose, it is best fresh but yes it does keep pretty well for a day or two - just store the "creamy" part on its own, and then add the "mixins" (celery etc) just a few minutes before eating. It makes quite a few small servings (4 or 5 maybe?) because it is very rich and you can only handle so much in one sitting

I love your "egg" salad. Its really good. I'm mostly vegan though sometimes I'm vegetarian. I really like eggs. So this week I decided to be raw vegan and try to include food that I like into my menu. Well this hit the spot. I took it to work for lunch and my coworker tried it and couldn't believe that it didn't have eggs in it. Your a genius.

I know this may sound silly, but was wondering if there is an approximate calorie count to this recipe?

Lots!!! But the good news is that it is so rich that you can't eat too much because it is so dense it makes you really want to eat a lot of crisp greens (romaine lettuce) with this.
