Before losing 125 pounds, I loved cheese—all types of cheese. It wasn’t until I started eating a plant-based diet that I realized how much cheese negatively impacted my health. I had sinus issues and hormonal issues that went away as soon as I eliminated cheese from my diet.
Now that I have lost weight and ditched dairy, I created this vegan feta recipe, one of my favorite ways to dress salad bowls.

❓Others have asked…
❄️Can you freeze tofu?
Yes, you can freeze tofu! Freezing actually changes the texture, making it chewier and more absorbent, which can be great for recipes like this vegan feta recipe.
🫙How do you store Vegan Feta Cheese Recipes?
- Transfer to an Airtight Container – After making the vegan feta, place it in an airtight sealed container to keep it fresh and prevent it from drying out. I like to use a Mason Jar.
- Refrigerate – Store the container in the fridge. Vegan feta typically lasts up to 5 days, and the flavor can intensify as it marinates over time.
- Keep it in the Marinade– Store it in the leftover marinade to help maintain its flavor and texture.
- Freeze for Longer Storage (Optional)—If you want to store the vegan feta for longer, you can freeze it. Place it in a freezer-safe container or bag and freeze for 2-3 months. Thaw in the fridge before using, though the texture may change slightly after freezing.
