Ingredients

  • 1 14-oz block extra firm tofu 396 g
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 60 mL
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice 30 mL
  • 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar 30 mL
  • 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 cloves garlic minced

Instructions

  • Press: Cut tofu into a few slabs (roughly ¼ inch thick). Press liquid out of tofu using either a tofu press, or by wrapping the tofu in a clean towel and setting a heavy pan on top. Let tofu press for at least 30 minutes.
  • Cut: Cut tofu into small cubes (smaller cubes = more surface area for soaking up flavors).
    A pile of evenly cut vegan feta cheese cubes arranged in a circular shape on a light blue wooden surface.
  • Marinade: Stir together all remaining ingredients, then fold in the tofu cubes. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours, before serving.
