Dairy-free feta? Yes, it’s a thing, and you can easily make it at home! With just a few ingredients and extra-firm tofu, you can whip up a batch of healthy, protein-packed feta to top salads, sandwiches, pastas, and more. Sometimes, we even eat this by the handful for a quick snack! When paired with fresh tomatoes, basil, and crisp cucumber, this tofu makes for a refreshing light lunch, post-workout meal, or a crowd-pleasing appetizer.
