This Vegan Greek Salad with Tofu Feta is very similar to what I have eaten at Greek restaurants, except for the tofu feta of course.
I have even included Greek peperoncinis, but if you don't like anything spicy, you could leave them off.
Another Greek-inspired recipe is my Vegan Greek Pizza with Tofu Feta. It has all the flavors of a Greek salad on a pizza crust.
Eat this salad with vegan moussaka or vegan gyros.
Other hearty salads to try are my Vegan Buffalo Salad and my Vegan Southwest Salad with Chipotle Dressing.
A tofu salad to try is my Tofu Tarragon Salad Sandwich recipe. My Balsamic Tofu recipe tastes great on salads.

🧾 Ingredients
Dressing
- Red wine vinegar: I used red wine vinegar because it's a classic dressing ingredient. You could also use apple cider vinegar.
- Oregano: Is a classic Greek salad ingredient.
- Extra virgin olive oil: I used Extra virgin olive oil because it has a better flavor than regular olive oil. Save the olive oil for cooking.
- Dijon mustard: Adds a spicy tangy flavor.
- Garlic: Adds a pungent flavor.
- Lemon juice: Adds a sour flavor.
- Salt and pepper: Enhances flavors. I like to use sea salt.
Salad
- English cucumber: I like an English cucumber because it is less bitter than other varieties.
- Kalamata olives: Is traditional in a Greek salad. You could also use green olives or another variety.
- Red onion: Adds a pungent flavor.
- Greek peperoncini: Adds a spicy flavor. You could leave them off.
- Cherry tomatoes: You could also use grape tomatoes or plum tomatoes.
- Tofu feta: I used a homemade tofu feta recipe. You could also use store-bought vegan feta cheese.
- Romaine lettuce: You could also use iceberg lettuce or another variety.

Greek salad is my favourite!!!! I always wonder what protein I should pair with it so tofu is a great option.
Willow Moon says
That's true - protein bonus! I was mainly thinking cheese substitute.
Jenn says
I'm such a huge Greek food fan! I would eat falafel everyday if I could. There is a restaurant in town that has the best vegan tzatziki. Since I'm a non dairy person (and mostly vegan except for the 2x week chicken) I scout out all of the vegan places around town. This salad looks amazing and I'm totally going to try this this week! I'm looking forward to trying the tofu feta! Thanks for sharing!
Willow Moon says
Thanks Jenn! I hope you like it! I am glad to hear that there are restaurants that serve vegan tzatziki!
