Ingredients
Scale
Tofu Feta Marinade
- ½ cup firm tofu (drained, pressed to remove excess liquid, and diced)
- 1 tablespoon flavorful extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Salad
- 2 medium-sized tomatoes (diced)
- 1 cucumber (diced)
- 8 marinated kalamata olives or green olives (roughly chopped)
- ¼ medium red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 medium red bell pepper (diced)
- Salt to taste (chunky sea salt is best)
- ¼ cup Italian parsley (for garnish)
Serving
- Rustic bread (sliced and toasted)
Instructions
- Marinate the Tofu Feta: Place the diced tofu in a bowl and add the extra virgin olive oil, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to coat the tofu evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the tofu to absorb the flavors; marinating for a few hours yields best results.
- Prepare the Salad: In a large salad bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, cucumber, chopped olives, thinly sliced red onion, and diced red bell pepper. Gently toss the ingredients together to blend flavors.
- Assemble the Salad: Add the marinated tofu feta to the bowl with the vegetables. Sprinkle with chunky sea salt to taste. Toss gently to combine all elements.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the salad with freshly chopped Italian parsley. Serve immediately alongside toasted rustic bread for a complete and satisfying meal.
Notes
- Pressing tofu before marinating is essential to remove excess water and improve flavor absorption.
- Chunky sea salt adds texture and a burst of flavor, but regular salt can be used if preferred.
- For a spicier dish, increase the amount of red pepper flakes.
- This salad is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to one day, with the bread toasted just before serving.
- Feel free to swap the parsley garnish with fresh mint or basil for a different flavor twist.
