Greek Salad with Tofu “Feta”
This Greek salad is great as a side with pizza or pasta. It can also be served on its own with whole grain bread. For the salad greens, I prefer a balanced mixture of arugula, spinach, and romaine lettuce. The peppery flavor of the arugula goes really well with the Kalamata olives and marinated tofu!

Cooking Tips
If you know you’re going to have leftovers, don't add the tofu "feta" directly to the salad; instead, add some to each serving and refrigerate it separately so that the salad greens are not soggy the next day.
