Chopped Salad with Tofu Feta
This Chopped Salad with Tofu Feta is simple and healthy. As someone who hates most vegan cheeses, this tofu feta is something I can vouch for!
I have to admit there are not many vegan cheeses out there that I can say I like. I don’t even like nutritional yeast very much – gasp! So, when I made this Tofu Feta I was so excited that there was a faux cheese that I not only loved BUT that I could make at home.
And…it is the perfect accompaniment for this Chopped Salad!Â
Bell peppers + tomatoes + onions + peperoncini peppers on top of a bed of romaine and combined with tofu feta and a tangy dressing. The perfect simple & healthy combo.
You do need to make the feta the day before so that it has plenty of time to marinate. BUT, once you have that ready, this salad comes together in just 10 minutes.
Want to make this a more substantial meal? Add some roasted herb potatoes or some vegan chick’n to the mix and you will have a healthy + veggie packed dinner.
