Sure, marinated feta cubes are great. But if you’re looking for a dairy-free option, look no further. In this no-cook recipe, chunks of tofu soak in a marinade of vinegar, oil, and spices. Nutritional yeast, known for giving food a cheesy taste without the dairy, is added alongside an array of dried herbs and spices like basil, onion, garlic, and crushed red pepper. White miso doubles down on the umami, while lemon zest and juice ensure balanced brightness. Skewer the cubes or serve them with toothpicks alongside an array of marinated vegetables or crudité.

Pressing is a must since it removes the tofu’s excess moisture to help it absorb the flavorful marinade. Press the tofu in planks instead of cubes to ensure the pieces stay intact.
