Easy Recipe for Tofu Feta Cheese with Oregano and Carrot Salad
Tofu is my go-to ingredient when I have to make vegan dishes high in protein and calcium and low in fat. I love tofu because of its versatility: you can stir fry it, drop it in soups, or in may cases replace cheeses, eggs, and heavy cream with it. My favorite recipe is broiled or seared tofu, but usually try to adapt tofu to fit within traditional Mediterranean recipes. In this recipe, I use vegan tofu feta cheese to add protein to this salad. This salad contains an array of textures and flavors; however, what makes it more special is you can use it as stuffing for great sandwich.
