Ingredients

350 grams extra firm tofu
½ cup soy milk
¼ cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 ½ tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry oregano
½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

Step 1: Prep Tofu

If you typically press your tofu, start with that.
Cut tofu into cubes (smaller cubes marinate faster) and add to container.
350 grams extra firm tofu
Add the remaining ingredients to your tofu, then place a lid on the container.
½ cup soy milk, ¼ cup lemon juice, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 ½ tablespoons nutritional yeast, 2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon dry oregano, ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Shake well until the marinade ingredients are evenly mixed and coat all tofu cubes.

Step 2: Marinade and Serve

Refrigerate the container and allow to marinate for at least 45 minutes; overnight is best.
Remove tofu cubes from the marinade liquid as needed to serve, discarding the marinade only after all the feta is eaten (refrigerate leftover feta in the marinade).
