Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 block (14 to 16 oz) extra-firm tofu, pressed and crumbled
  • ¼ cup plain unsweetened plant-based yogurt
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • ½ tsp salt

Method
 

  1. Press tofu for 10 minutes, then crumble into a bowl.
  2. Whisk yogurt, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and salt until smooth.
  3. Fold dressing into tofu gently, keeping curds chunky.
  4. Spoon into a bowl, top with pepper and chives, and serve.

Notes

If you don’t have a tofu press, a plate with a heavy can works just as well. The flavor gets even better after 15 minutes of resting, but you can eat it right away. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
