To make this feta cheese recipe vegan, all you have to do is press and cut up tofu into small cubes (similar to feta cubes), mix together the marinade ingredients and simply marinate the tofu pieces in the delicious marinade! If you can let the flavours of the marinade soak the tofu for a few hours or overnight it will taste amazing!

The result will be a delicious, slightly crumbly feta substitute. Not only does this taste great, it is high in protein and satisfying.

How To Make Vegan Feta with Tofu

Start by preparing the tofu by pressing the tofu! Either use a tofu press or wrap the tofu around with paper towels and place on a shallow plate. Place something heavy on top such as a cast iron skillet and add more cans and jars to weigh it down further. Leave for a minimum of 10 minutes while preparing the marinade ingredients.

While your tofu is pressing liquid out, it’s time to make your feta marinade. In a large container, add the remaining ingredients and mix well.

Once the tofu is pressed, discard the paper towel and cut the tofu into small cubes.

Add the cut up tofu pieces into the large container and mix well with the marinade. Allow to marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight, before serving.

Keep in a tightly sealed container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days and enjoy as a delicious alternative to feta cheese.

    I wasn’t sure how this would be but I was pleasantly surprised at the crumbly texture of the tofu after marinating! It’s also VERY flavourful- tasted so much like feta. Very delicious

    I saw the video short and realizing I had all the ingredients, I made it immediately. It whipped together in a matter of minutes, I put it in the fridge and left for the day. Daughter and I got home starving, and we made sandwiches with our deliciously marinaded tofu. Totally awesome! We’ll be making this frequently for sandwiches (maybe sliced into slabs instead of diced) and salads, or just to snack on.

      I just made the marinade, I am excited to try this! I love feta cheese and if I can make an inexpensive vegan version, instead of paying a whole bunch at the store, then that’s fantastic!

    Delicious! I was out of miso paste so I subbed 1 Tbsp of soy sauce and omitted the salt. This recipe is so flavourful it is sure to be a regular.

    I absolutely love this recipe. I mashed a portion of it up and put it on a sandwich with tempeh bacon, cucumbers, sundried tomatoes, and sprouts. So good!

    This is so easy and delicious!! I have been adding it to pasta salad, but it would be good in many other ways too! I think I might try it on pizza next.

    It was so delicious I can’t wait to make it again! I forgot the lemon juice, so I used the vinegar from pickled red onions instead. It was very flavorful.
