Instructions
Make Ahead: Prepare the homemade vegan feta cheese according to recipe instructions. The recommended marinating time is 12 hours or more (24 to 48 hours is best).
To make the Greek salad dressing, add garlic, seasonings, red wine vinegar, Dijon, and lemon juice to a mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Then, drizzle in extra-virgin olive oil and whisk well until emulsified. Set aside..
Chop, rinse, and strain Romaine lettuce or salad greens. I love using a salad spinner for this. Set aside.
Cut cherry tomatoes in half or into bite-sized chunks. Slice cucumbers, onions, and bell pepper.
Assemble the salad by adding chopped veggies to a bed of Romaine. Crumble the vegan feta on top. Drizzle the salad dressing to the desired sauciness. Enjoy!
Notes
Make Ahead: Allow vegan feta to marinate for 24 to 48 hours, if possible. Use the extra homemade vegan feta for tomato avocado toast. So yummy!
