I’m a huge salad lover but even I’ll admit sometimes they get a little boring. This tofu feta is the perfect addition to take boring salds to the next level. Its tangy, soft, and creamy, using tofu thats not too firm and not too silky. Look for just plain “firm” tofu- not extra firm or silken. This results in feta that holds its shape while still being smooth.
The marinade is made from a savory, tangy cocktail of lemon juice, olive juice, olive oil, white vinegar, miso paste, nutritional yeast and some spices. The longer the tofu marinates together the better it comes out! Let it sit for a full day for best result.

- 1. Open the block of tofu, drain the liquid and pat dry. Dice into small cubes and spread them out flat on the cutting board. Use a paper towel to press out the excess moisture out of the tofu dices as best as you can.

Taste and adjust the flavor as needed, add extra salt if desired. Add in the tofu cubes and stir til well coated. Refrigerate overnight- the longer it sits the better.
