Vegan Feta Cheese
Report
This vegan feta cheese is a delicious vegan substitute for traditional feta. It has the classic briny flavor and crumbly texture we all love, but it's 100% vegetarian, vegan, and dairy-free.

Ingredients
- 14 oz tofu extra firm, block
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- ⅓ cup water
- lemon juice and zest of 1
- 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 2 tsp salt
- ¼ cup olive brine juice from a jar of olives – kalamata is best
- 1 clove garlic peeled and minced
- 1 tsp oregano dried
- ½ tsp basil dried
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Supplies Needed:
- tofu press optional
Instructions
- Drain the tofu. Use a tofu press or follow the following directions.
- To drain tofu, line a plate with paper towels, and place the block of tofu on top.
- Place another layer of paper towels on top of the tofu and top with a second plate.
- Place a heavy object on top of the plate to weigh it down. It will take about four hours to press all the liquid out of the tofu. Check on it occasionally and drain the water that accumulates.
- When the tofu is drained, chop into ½ inch cubes.
- Mix all of the remaining ingredients in a bowl to form the marinade. Toss tofu cubes in the marinade.
- Cover and refrigerate for several hours – preferably overnight.
- Remove “feta” cubes from marinade, and use in place of traditional feta cheese.
