What is Greek Salad?

Why I love this Vegan Greek Salad

• Dietary needs — this salad is vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, oil-free, and refined sugar free

• Vegan version of a classic — this vegan version of Greek salad features a tofu feta instead of regular cheese. And an oil-free dressing!

• High Protein — because it uses tofu feta, this salad is actually pretty high in protein!

• Feels like a full meal — some salads can be too light and not feel satisfying. With hearty vegetables and tofu for protein, this salad feels like a solid meal without being too heavy

• Greek flavors — crunchy vegetables, tangy tofu feta, and plus fresh mint and oregano.

Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

Tofu Feta Ingredients

• Extra Firm Tofu: to make a feta substitute, extra firm tofu has the best texture. You could even go for a tofu marked "high protein" which will be even more firm

• Lemon Juice: to mimic the briney taste of cheese we'll add some acid in the form of lemon juice. You could also use white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar

• White Miso: miso adds some salt and helps create the umami flavor of cheese. You can find miso in the Asian section or in the vegan section of the grocery store - choose the lightest color miso you can find. I love the Miso Master brand.

• Pepper

‍

Dressing Ingredients

• Red Wine Vinegar: red wine vinegar has a pretty robust flavor, and is perfect for the base of this dressing

• Water: we'll use water instead of oil for this dressing

• Dijon Mustard: for a bit of tang, and to help emulsify the ingredients

• Garlic

• Dried Oregano

• Salt & Pepper

‍

Salad Ingredients

• English Cucumber: English cucumbers tend to be more mild and have a softer skin, so they are great in a raw salad. But feel free to use baby cucumbers or even a regular cucumber

• Bell Pepper: I used both green and red bell pepper. Feel free to choose your favorite color(s).

• Cherry Tomatoes

• Red Onion: I think red onion works best in a raw salad like this, but a yellow onion could work as a sub

• Kalamata Olives: kalamata olives have a more rich flavor, so I recommend them here. But regular black olives could work too.

• Fresh Mint: a sprig or two mint creates a light and fresh flavor. If you can't find fresh mint, feel free to omit

• Dried Oregano: a sprinkle of dried oregano really ties the dish together

HOW TO STORE SALAD LEFTOVERS

Store any leftovers you have in an air-tight container in the fridge.

‍

HOW LONG WILL THIS SALAD LAST?

This salad will last up to a week in the fridge.

Since this salad doesn't have any lettuce it will stay fresh for a fairly long time. And the tofu will absorb more of the flavors from the dressing, so the salad will taste even better after a few days in the fridge!
