Tofu Feta {in a quick greek salad}

Yes. You see them correctly. If you look beyond the ridiculousness that is the tofu feta (more on that in a minute!) you’ll notice that there are tomatoes {gasp!!} in this post.

It’s true that tomatoes are not part of standard day to day macro fare. But as they start to come into season, bright ruby orbs of tasty goodness, beckoning from the farmer’s market stand, well… they prove to be hard to resist!! It’s okay. They’re a nice, if infrequent, indulgence for someone not on a strict healing diet.

Tomatoes are not intimidating. Everyone knows what to expect, what they are, and if they like them or not. You know what you’re getting with a freshly ripened tomato!!

I like to use well known and familiar ingredients when making dishes to bring to summer BBQ’s. It’s nice for everyone to feel like they can take part, relax and enjoy what they are eating. So when Hubs and I were invited to a BBQ, and I saw such beautiful tomatoes at the market, I knew I wanted to make something with them. Tasty greek salad fit the bill perfectly. With a ton of arugula tossed in, it was the perfect way to kick off summer BBQ’s in friend’s backyards.

As if this could even get better…. as a hot weather, not wanting to turn the stove on, bonus- the salad lasts for a day or two in the fridge. Yay for ready made lunches!!

The version shown here is with couscous. SUPER fast and easy and a nice grain option on these hot summer days. The salad we brought to the BBQ was with quinoa- equally tasty, seasonally appropriate, and also gluten free! The tofu feta stores well in the fridge, and can be used any number of ways… salads, tacos, wraps, on a pizza…  I’d love to hear about the fun ways you think of using it! Enjoy!!

I’ve made this tofu feta with firm, extra firm and medium soft tofu…. all to great success!! Use whatever you have on hand!
