Tofeta Salad
What do you get when you cross Tofu and Feta, together as one? The answer is Tofeta!
Serves: 3-4
Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
For the Tofeta
1 block of firm Tofu
1 tbsp salt flakes
¼ cup olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
1 sprig rosemary or 1 tbsp dried
Few sprigs fresh thyme or 1 tbsp dried
1 tsp dried oregano
For the salad
2 -3 Feta discs, broken into large chunks
1 small cucumber, chopped
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
½ cup pitted olives
1 pack Fresh Rocket
Method:
Drain excess liquid from the tofu and pat dry. Place the salt, olive oil, lemon and herbs into a sterilized jar. Add in the tofu, close the jar and gently shake. Allow to stand for a few minutes.
Assemble the salad ingredients on a platter, add the tofeta and drizzle over the excess oil from the jar.
Exclude the feta cheese if vegan.
Chefs Tip:
If you are vegan, you can exclude the feta cheese from this recipe
Whats great about using Tofu is that it absorbs the flavours and it’s a great plant based protein
The longer the Tofeta stays refrigerated in the jar in, the more intense the flavour becomes
