Fat-free Vegan Feta Cheese

Posted by:Lindsay S. Nixon Category: Recipe

Yes, it's a salad... but it's a salad with fat-free vegan feta cheese! Oh yeah!

This recipe is included in Happy Herbivore Abroad.

I can't remember the last time I had a Greek salad... or feta cheese. Neither were items I ate often as an omni or vegetarian. Still, I love the challenge of making vegan substitutes for foods other people like.

Anyway, this idea came to me by way of my good friend Katherine. We were hanging out together in the park when she asked me, "Lindsay, can you make vegan feta out of tofu?" I didn't know if you could, but damnit! I was going to try. I think it tastes just like feta cheese, or at least it tastes the way I remember feta cheese tasting like. Regardless, it's damn tasty on a salad!

Now, I know Greek salads usually have cucumbers and red onions on them, too... but, well, I don't like raw onions (we all have our preferences?) and I was all out of cukes... but whatever! it was still an awesome salad!
