Ingredients
- 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 7 ounces (200 grams, ½ pack) firm tofu
- 7 ounces (200 grams, 2 cucumbers) Lebanese cucumbers, cut into bite-size pieces
- 7 ounces (200 grams) tomatoes, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 ounce (30 grams, ¼ onion) red onion, thinly sliced
- 2.8 ounces (80 grams, ½ cup) Kalamata olives
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon oregano
Instructions
-
Put the lemon juice, nutritional yeast and salt into a sealable bag and shake to dissolve the salt.
-
Add the tofu, and then press out as much air from the bag as possible before sealing. If you have a vacuum sealer, this will make this a lot easier. Let this marinate for at least 24 hours, or up to one week.
-
Toss the cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, olives, wine vinegar and salt together and plate.
-
Drain the marinated tofu and place on top of the vegetables. Drizzle generously with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano to serve.
