Good recipe! I crumbled this and it LOOKS just like feta. Dairy/meat-free items will never be exact replicas, you need to just appreciate them for what they are- delicious stand-ins. This recipe held up well in that regard. I agree the red wine vinegar was a bit overpowering, I reduced it a pinch and still would have left more out. Served in a greek salad and have TONS left (even when halving recipe).

You have made me a convert to tofu. I have never liked it before. Great recipe for my daughter who is allergic to dairy. Thanks for sharing.

Marinated for an hour in the fridge and then drained through cheesecloth.
