Tofu Feta

This Tofu Feta is marinated in herbs and vinegar to give it a tangy cheesy flavor. Crumble it on salads or eat it as a snack. 

Tofu is a great ingredient to use in place of dairy. The reason it works so well is because it takes on the flavors you introduce to it, and it has a creamy texture. I have used it in Vegan Sour Cream and Tofu Ricotta.

To give the tofu a tangy flavor I added lemon juice and red wine vinegar. For a cheesy taste I added nutritional yeast. I also used oregano and basil since both herbs are used in Greek cuisine.

I marinated the tofu overnight so that it would take on the flavors of the marinade. You could crumble it in a salad, but I personally like the presentation of the chunks.

Instructions

Mix olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, oregano, basil, nutritional yeast, salt and pepper. Add drained and chopped tofu. Let sit overnight in the fridge.

Tips

• Drain and chop the tofu. Don't worry about any excess water - it will mix with the herb mixture and coat the tofu.
• Let sit overnight for the best flavor.
• Many times people ask me if nutritional yeast is necessary in a recipe. It adds a cheesy flavor, and since this is taking the place of feta, I think it is necessary. If you really don't like nutritional yeast, by all means, leave it out. Just know that it won't have a cheesy flavor, but an herby flavor instead. You could use store-bought or homemade vegan parmesan instead.
