There is nothing like a tasty, hearty salad. Our spin on a classic Greek Salad recipe is, dare we say, better than the original! This recipe proves that you don’t need dairy or meat to make a salad great. Our homemade tofu ‘feta cheese’ and dressing take this salad to the next level.
We use our new Organic Avocado Oil for the salad dressing and homemade tofu ‘feta cheese’ marinade. Nutiva Organic Avocado Oils are pure and made from organic avocados rich in potassium, folate and Vitamins K, C and E. This culinary oil is extremely versatile and safe to use in medium to high heat cooking, grilling, stir-frying, baking or broiling.
