Greek Salad with Tofu "Feta Cheese"

carolinerenee's Note:

I found this recipe on the net when I had to make a greek dish for my son's history class. I love the marinated Tofu, to me it is just as good as the Feta Cheese it substitutes and healthier, however you can substitute the Feta Cheese for the Tofu if preferred.

I didn't try the salad, since I was making this "feta" for a different salad; however, the tofu "feta" is a wonderful dairy-free substitute for the real thing. So glad I found this.
