Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (14 oz) package extra-firm tofu (Regular firm can also be used.)
½ to ⅔ cup plain, unsweetened vegan yogurt (See Notes.)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
¾ to 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • No need to press the tofu, but we do want to remove some of the water. Remove the block of tofu from the package, and wrap a tea towel or paper towels around it. Holding the tofu over the sink lightly squeeze to remove some of the water. Place the tofu in a bowl with the other ingredients, starting with the lesser amount of yogurt and salt.
  • Use a fork to mash the tofu and incorporate it with the yogurt and seasonings. Mash until the "curds" are as small as you like.
  • Taste for seasoning, adding more yogurt, garlic, and salt, if desired. Enjoy your healthy vegan cottage cheese right away, or refrigerate it for an hour or more to allow the flavors to mingle.

EASY VEGAN COTTAGE CHEESE



Easy Vegan Cottage Cheese image

You couldn't fool anybody that this is the "real" thing, but it is definitely tasty, especially if you haven't had dairy in a while. I like it as a dip for potato chips. It's also great on crackers or tomato slices. It's a hodgepodge of recipes I found on the internet. Silken tofu is the kind that comes in the little aseptic box, often found on the shelf in the health-food section or refrigerated in the produce section at your local grocery store.
