Ingredients

  • 14 oz Firm tofu
  • 3 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Nutritional yeast
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Dried oregano
  • 1 tsp Sea salt
  • 2 tbsp Water

Directions

Step 1

Drain the tofu and wrap it in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture. Place a heavy object on top (such as a skillet) and let it press for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Cut the pressed tofu into small cubes, approximately 1/2 inch in size, to mimic the texture of traditional feta cheese.

Step 3

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, dried oregano, sea salt, and water to create the marinade.

Step 4

Add the tofu cubes to the bowl and gently toss to coat each piece thoroughly in the marinade. Ensure the tofu is fully submerged or well-coated for optimal flavor absorption.

Step 5

Transfer the marinated tofu to an airtight container or jar. Pour any remaining marinade over the tofu to cover it as much as possible.

Step 6

Refrigerate the tofu for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and infuse the tofu.

Step 7

Once marinated, the tofu feta is ready to use. Stir gently before serving and add it to your salads, wraps, or any dish needing a feta-like tangy flavor. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
