Description
Whip up this quick vegan tofu "feta" anytime you're craving a crumbly, salty, fresh topping for your salads, pizzas, and pastas!
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 350g extra firm tofu
- 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tbsp miso paste
- 1 tsp sea salt
- optional: 2 tbsp parsley or oregano*
- optional: 1 tbsp nutritional yeast for "cheesy" depth
*Fresh ingredients you need that are not part of our pantry and freezer tips.
Instructions
- If your tofu brand is not pre-pressed, press out the excess water so that it will soak up more of the dressing. Use a tofu press or wrap the tofu in a clean dish towel and place something heavy on top for about 10 minutes.
- Slice your tofu into cubes.
- Mix the dressing ingredients in a bowl or jar. Taste and adjust to your liking. More vinegar for extra tartness, extra salt for more of that salty feta flavour, or more nutritional yeast for "cheesiness".
- Pour the dressing over the tofu (or drop the tofu cubes into the jar) and refrigerate in an air-tight container until ready to use. Ideally, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before enjoying. This allows time for the flavours to penetrate the tofu.
- Keeps well for 3-4 days and easily crumbles! Try it over our Watermelon Salad or Pesto Pizza!
Notes
*Cost Comparison: CAD $4.30 for 350g (with parsley and 1 tbsp nutritional yeast) or $3.93 without the optional ingredients vs. wholesale feta cheese costing $3.79 and local grocery store feta ranging from $6.99-$13.11.
