Why you'll love this recipe

You can make it with only 4 ingredients.
It doesn't require any cooking, only marinating.
You can add the tofu feta cubes to salads or enjoy them as a tasty snack.

Ingredients

Block of tofu, jars of salt and oregano, and bottle of coconut vinegar.

Extra-firm tofu: Do not use shelf-stable silken tofu for this recipe. Look for refrigerated extra-firm tofu packed in water, which you will need to drain and press to remove the excess liquid.

However, if available, I recommend using super-firm tofu that is vacuum-packed and already pressed. My favorites are Hodo Organic Tofu and Trader Joe's (which I suspect may be relabeled Wildwood Organic) High Protein Super Firm Tofu. I use them the most in my vegan tofu recipes.

Coconut vinegar: Made from the sap of coconut blossoms, it doesn't actually taste like coconut. It's mild and less acidic than apple cider vinegar.

Coconut vinegar is a key ingredient for making tofu feta and should not be substituted.

Brands to look for in health food stores and online include Coconut Secret, Dynamic Health, and Silver Swan. Note that coconut vinegar is not the same as coconut aminos.

Instructions

Tofu cubes in a bowl, seasonings added to the tofu, and the tofu marinating in a bowl with a lid.

Cut the tofu into small cubes and place them in a bowl with a tight-fitting lid.
Add the coconut vinegar, oregano, and salt.
Place the lid on the bowl. Shake to combine the ingredients, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to marinate.

Amy's tip

For maximum flavor, allow the tofu feta to marinate overnight or longer.

Serving suggestions

Greek salad made with tofu feta, tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers, and Kalamata olives.

Tofu feta is delicious in salads like Greek-inspired millet salad, Mediterranean orzo salad, and tomato cucumber basil salad.

You can also add it to watermelon and tomato salad and tomato and onion salad.

And it's a must in a vegan Greek salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, red onions, Kalamata olives, and 3-ingredient Greek salad dressing.

Storing

Store the tofu feta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For best results, do not freeze.
