Greek salad is such a classic. The ingredients are simple, fresh, and go together very well. Nowadays, it’s fairly easy to replace feta cheese with a vegan version, as there are options available that resemble its taste. I like to use my favourite plain firm tofu in my vegan Greek salad instead of feta cheese. The Mediterranea brand has this amazing tofu that I can eat plain, without doing anything to change its flavour. It fits perfectly in this salad and doesn’t make me miss feta cheese at all.
All the other ingredients in the salad stay the same as in the original. Chop some tomatoes, cucumbers, green pepper, and red onion, then mix them with Kalamata olives and capers. I do like to use cherry tomatoes in my salad instead of large tomatoes. Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil and dried oregano over the salad, and this delicious vegan Greek salad is ready. To make it an even more complete meal, serve it with some homemade classic hummus, roasted red pepper or raw beetroot hummus, or creamy baba ganoush.
