ramyaramesh3007Feta in itself is incredibly versatile and can be used in any dish that needs a salty and tangy companion. This vegan version is made with tofu and tastes so cheesy!
This vegan herbed feta cheese only takes 5 minutes to prepare and you can use it in dishes right away. However, if you happen to have more time on your hands, you can marinate the tofu for a few extra hours or overnight. The easiest way is to prep this at night and it’s ready to use the next morning! The texture of tofu is unreal because it mimics feta cheese in the best way possible.
If you’re using fresh tofu, you can store this for about 2-4 days. This recipe is 100% gluten free – make sure to check that the nutritional yeast you’re using is gluten free as well as some may use wheat.
You can use this feta tofu cheese in salads, pasta, on toast or on a cheese platter. You can also have them by themselves on a stick as a quick high protein snack. I topped it on some lightly toasted sourdough bread, added chopped sun dried tomatoes and drizzled some truffle oil on top. Perfection!
