What Is A Vegan Feta?
The vegan trend is exploding, as more and more people are deciding to reject animal products and live a more compassionate lifestyle. This has led to the booming of vegan cheese, vegan meats and even vegan feta. Vegan feta is an alternative to the traditional dairy cheese, made from tapioca, almond, or soy milk, lemon juice, salt and vinegar, then mixed with nooch.
Making vegan feta is a lot easier than you may think! All you need to do is start by seasoning a block of tofu with salt and pepper, then bake it in a 400 degree oven for 20-25 minutes. While the tofu is baking, cut up some green onions and add them to a food processor along with a cup of soy milk, one tablespoon of nutritional yeast, and a half tablespoon of white wine vinegar. Blend until the mixture has combined.

Vegan Feta Cheese Substitutes
Vegan feta cheese is a gourmet vegan cheese that is made from soaked cashews, a plant-based milk, and various other ingredients. These ingredients are combined and processed to obtain a cheese that is very similar in taste and texture to a dairy feta cheese.
A common substitute for vegan feta cheese is tofu, but in order to imitate the texture of feta cheese, you need to press the tofu and drain it. Not everyone has the time to do this, so there are also a few recipes that use other ingredients that are similar to feta cheese. One of these substitutes is a mixture of cashews, parsley, salt, lemon juice, and olive oil. This mixture can be blended into a cheese-like consistency, or you can use it as a salad dressing. You can also purchase a vegan feta cheese substitute at your local grocery store.
