Marinated Lemon Tofu "Feta"
Marinated Lemon Tofu
Yield: 2-4
Prep time: 10 MinTotal time: 10 Min
This marinated lemony tofu has a bright zing that makes it a perfect addition to wraps, salads, or eaten on its own. It keeps extremely well in the fridge for several days, getting more flavorful as it absorbs the dressing. You can use it as a vegan swap for feta to get that tanginess that feta adds to a dish.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp oil (avocado, olive, etc.)
- zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 2 Tbsp water
- 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 block of pressed extra firm tofu, diced into 1/2" cubes or broken by hand into bite-sized pieces
Instructions
- Add oil, lemon zest and juice, oregano, salt, onion powder, crushed red pepper flakes, garlic, nutritional yeast, dijon mustard, water, and red wine vinegar to a medium-large bowl or storage container and whisk/stir until fully combined.
- Add tofu pieces to dressing mixture and carefully stir until thoroughly combined.
- Allow tofu to sit in fridge for several hours or overnight for the best flavor. This tofu can be stored in the fridge for several days.
Notes
The flavor is best after it sits for a few hours or overnight in the fridge, but it can certainly be eaten right away if you don't have the time. The dressing is vibrant enough that it is still quite flavorful even if you don't have a lot of time to let it marinate.
