It’s so easy to come by vegan Greek salad in Greece (just ask them to hold the feta) that I practically lived off the stuff, alongside fava (like a split pea hummus) when I was in Santorini a couple of years ago.

But Greek salad with vegan feta? Not something I encountered in Greece.

So, I decided to create my own as part of my Vegan Greek Feast. Also on the table: fattoush salad with loquats, tzatziki and courgette fritters. Stay tuned, next Saturday I’ll be posting the final recipe in the series, kolokthifketedes or courgette and feta fritters!

To make our Greek salad we’re first going to make vegan feta (which is great on other salads too!).

Then, it’s a simple matter of chopping some cucumbers and tomatoes and tossing them together with the vegan feta, olive oil, red wine vinegar and oregano.
