Its been a while since I made this but on finding the watermelon in the fridge that needed using up there was only one thing I could think of that I wanted, no, NEEDED to have it with… Tofu Feta!
This tofu feta comes together very quickly and easily with ingredients you most likely have to hand. Garlic, lemon juice, salt and a block of firm tofu. It does need to be firm and you will need to press it. Omit the pressing at your peril. Unpressed tofu has that slimy texture that no-one should have to endure!
I LOVE my feta with fresh watermelon, mint leaves, a drizzle of agave syrup and a crack of black pepper but you could use it in any way that takes your fancy… a greek salad would be the obvious choice or pizza topping! You can also crumble the tofu rather than cube it and make feta crumbles if you prefer.
Also feel free to play with the quantities of salt, garlic and lemon to suit your taste. I found the flavours were more profound after chilling so don’t omit the cooling and preferably chilling in the fridge before using. It doesn’t have to be overnight but an hour or so in the fridge would be great.
Half of the feta was used in the making of this gloriously juicy salad, the salt and sweet conspiring to give the perfect flavour hi!. I still have the other half in the fridge alongside the rest of the melon which I did think I would have tomorrow. However what is actually happening is I am dipping into the feta bowl every time I pass the fridge and most likely it will be long gone by morning! No matter its very easy to make more!

Recipe Notes
Feel free to adjust the amount of salt and lemon juice to your taste.
Crumble the feta if you prefer it that way.
The feta tasted better next day after a night in the fridge so if you can be organised enough make it the day before!
The feta will keep in the fridge for a few days.
