Greek Salad

Vegan Greek Salad

Traditionally made using feta cheese, we use a simple marinade to bring our ‘tofu feta’ to life in this vegan version.

  • We use firm tofu which doesn’t need pressing. But if you need to remove more moisture from the tofu, simply remove the tofu from it’s packaging and place it on a plate between a couple of paper towels. Top with a heavy book or mug and leave to press for as a long as possible, ideally one hour. Then proceed with step 1 of this recipe.

Nutrition facts: 200 calories 20 grams fat

Ingredients

Vegan Greek Salad For the tofu feta:

  • 300g / 10.5oz firm tofu
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

For the salad:

  • 1 cucumber
  • 4 tomatoes
  • 1 red onion
  • 100g / 3.5oz kalamata olives
  • 2 sticks of celery
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • pinch of dried oregano
  • pinch of salt
  • pinch of pepper

Method

  1. Remove the tofu from it’s packaging and place it on a plate between a couple of paper towels. Top with a heavy book or mug and leave to press for as a long as possible, ideally one hour. When it's ready, slice the tofu into sugar-cube-size pieces then leave to one side.
  2. Combine the remaining tofu feta ingredients, along with 1 tbsp water, in a large plate with raised sides. Transfer the pieces of tofu to the plate and use your hands to mix everything together. Then cover and leave in the fridge to marinade for at least 2 hours.
  3. When you're ready to start building the salad, start by dicing the cucumber and slicing the tomatoes into eighths. Transfer both to a large salad bowl. Peel and thinly slice the onion, slice the olives in half and roughly chop the celery. Transfer to the bowl. Next add the lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil and transfer the tofu feta to the bowl (we usually crumble a few pieces in our fingers) along with all the marinade juices. Give everything a good stir and season to taste. We tend to add an extra pinch of salt, pepper and dried oregano. Enjoy!

You make the easiest salad in the world to look difficult. Again, so many ingredients… unbelievable. Btw., celery is not supposed to be there. At all.

Petra.. why even bother commenting if you are going to be so negative. I have made this salad and the celery is a nice touch. Who cares if it isn’t traditionally in a Greek salad. This is a nice spin on the traditional. So, Ben and Roxy.. this is a wonderful recipe and so flavourful.. thank for this. I will continue making this for sure.
