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!
