A Greek salad is just not the same without the feta. You could make your own from scratch (there are recipes based on tofu, or almonds) but that’s a mission.
And why bother when you can buy it ready made? I used the dairy-free feta cheese from Woolworths (specifically, the “Dairy Free Greek White Cheese”), which is beautifully creamy with a slight tang, and brings a lovely richness to a simple fresh salad of tomato, cucumber, red onion and Kalamata olives, with olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano and sea salt 🥗
I’m told that the correct way to serve an authentic Greek salad is with a thick slab of feta on top—yes please!
