Vegan Feta Cheese ~
A dairy-free feta that actually crumbles! You’re going to love this vegan feta recipe!
This easy-to-make, non-dairy cheese is cooked on the stovetop then chilled to perfection for a delicious feta that can be used for salads, casseroles, pizzas, and more!
One of my favorite ways to use this crumbly homemade cheese is for Spanakopita (Greek Spinach Pie).
I served this spanakopita for Easter lunch last year with roasted potatoes and a pretty spring salad sprinkled with this feta.
I like this recipe because it looks, tastes, and feels like dairy-based feta. Simple seasonings provide savory flavor while vinegar adds the touch of tanginess you would expect from feta cheese.
