Not-feta salad! 🙂 It’s vegan!!! 🙂
I’m so busy and don’t have time to write much but I just HAD to share this with you! This is just amazing! When I was on the plane to Istanbul last month the girl I sat next to shared this great tip with me 🙂 (I know! … how amazing that she had vegan tips)! What do you do? Press some firm tofu to extract the water, cube it into chunks, whisk up a marinade and leave it covered overnight (if you can wait that long)! This doesn’t need to go in the fridge as that would cause the olive oil to harden – leave somewhere not too warm though whilst marinating! and enjoy! 🙂 Once it’s done marinating you can store in the fridge and just let it come to room temperature before eating (or not)! 🙂 You can of course mix up the spices but the base of my version of this fantastic recipe is:
- 220g firm tofu (pressed to remove liquid makes around 200g)
- 3 teaspoons fresh lemon Juice
- 35ml olive oil (can be reduced if necessary)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic (don’t be generous unless you love garlic!)
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 2-3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (can be eliminated if necessary)
- 1/2 teaspoon basil
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
Add it to salads, put it in a wrap, try it on pizza, have it with pasta… SO many yummy ideas with this one! 🙂 I know I said I didn’t have time to party for the next few weeks months! but I want to share this with Angie at her Fiesta Friday and also at the plant based Potluck Party 🙂
