This Watermelon Salad with Tofu Feta is super refreshing on a hot summer's day. What really makes it, for me, is the addition of the tofu feta.
I'm so excited to have found this recipe for tofu feta (thank you Dreena Burton), because there are so many ways to use it. Try adding it to Greek salad, to your roasted veggies, in your tacos or burritos. The addition of kalamata olives gives it just the kick it needs to be tangy and delish! Try this Watermelon Salad Tofu Feta dish at your next BBQ.
