Vegan Tofu 'Feta Cheese' image

An excellent tofu 'feta cheese' substitute that has a nice sharp/zingy feta-like flavor! A delicious low-fat, vegan addition to many dishes calling for feta cheese. Once the tofu has finished marinating, you can leave it as cubes or crumble to feta-like pieces and use on salads, pizzas, gyros, or any other dish you want to top or bake lightly with feta cheese!
