feta cheese



I love feta cheese!  But….

Eating any form of "industrialized" dairy gets in the way of my belief system that we protect and care for animals and the planet causing no harm.

So…. I've found an alternative.  Just as good, frugal and even more nutritious.  The ingredients are probably already on hand.

Hard tofu
Lemon
Salt


Method:  Get as much water out of the tofu as possible.  You can do this by cutting it into slices, salting it heavily and leaving it for 10 to 30 minutes on a dry towel to bead or by squeezing it.  I use the dry towel method and pat off the water beads and salt.
Break the tofu up just like you do the feta and put it in a small bowl.
Squeeze lemon juice  and sprinkle salt over the tofu and mix.  Clean fingers add love.
Leave sit for another 5 minutes and mix again.  Voila!

Great for Greek Salad and I add it with green onions to my refried black bean tacos.
