[recipe] Greek Salad with vegan feta cheese

[Guest guest]

Note - the " vegan feta " is delicious and can be used for making lasagna,

etc.

I used it for calzone and it turned out wonderful!

 

 

GREEK SALAD

 

4 c romaine lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces

1 1/2 c cucumber, sliced horizontally and cut into half-moon shapes (peel

if

waxed or thick-skinned)

1 ripe medium tomato, cut in half and thinly sliced into half-moon shapes

1/3 c whole black olives or Greek olives

1/4 c chopped red onion

 

VEGAN FETA

 

1/2 pound regular tofu (firm), rinsed and patted dry (press if time

permits)

 

MARINADE:

2 T red wine vinegar

1 T fresh lemon juice

4 t olive oil

1/2 t dried basil leaves

1/2 t dried oregano leaves

1/2 t salt

1/4 t garlic granules

1/4 t ground black pepper

 

1. Cut the tofu into 3/4 inch cubes, and place it in a wide, shallow

ceramic

or glass mixing bowl

2. In a small measuring cup or mixing bowl whisk together the ingredients

for the marinade.

Pour the marinade over the tofu chunks, tossing them gently so that they

are

evenly coated.

Cover, marinate in fridge several hours or overnight.

(I HIGHLY RECOMMEND 18 to 24 hours, and give them a stir whenever you go in

the kitchen so they marinate evenly.)

 

3. Just before serving prepare the salad ingredients and place them in a

large mixing bowl.

 

4. Add the tofu and marinade to the salad ingredients, and toss gently but

thoroughly.

Serve at once, with salt and pepper on the side to season as desired.
