Instructions
Tofu Feta
- Slice the tofu into 8 equal slices. Lay the sliced tofu between a folded kitchen towel and place a heavy flat-bottomed object (like a book or skillet) on top to press out excess moisture. Let the tofu drain until it’s dry to the touch.
- Cut the tofu into cubes.
- Mix together the water, vinegar, olive brine, olive oil, nutritional yeast, salt, basil, garlic powder and pepper. Add the tofu cubes, ensuring that they are submerged, and marinate overnight.
Dressing
- Combine the dressing ingredients in a blender. Blend on high. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Mediterranean Bowl
- Prepare farro according to package instructions. After boiling and draining, season with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Prepare Tomato Basil Microwave Ready Little potatoes according to package instructions.
- Assemble your Mediterranean bowl: Begin with 1 cup of cooked farro topped with ¼ package of Tomato Basil Little potatoes, chopped cucumber, halved tomatoes, and a handful of spinach. Top with a drizzle of dressing and ¼ of the tofu feta.
Notes
The tofu feta in this recipe should be prepared a day ahead to allow adequate time to drain and marinate.
