Ingredients
  

  • 1 12 oz extra-firm tofu (drained), and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup soft tofu (drained) or unsweetened vegan yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or coconut vinegar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons (optional) garnished with fresh chives, green onions or parsley finely chopped.

Instructions
 

  • Add the nutritional yeast, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, onion and garlic powder, salt, and soft tofu or yogurt to a bowl. Mix everything together until well combined.
  • Add crumbled firm tofu into pieces to the bowl. Stir to combine so that the creamy mixture coats the crumbled tofu.
  • Taste the mixture and adjust the seasonings to your preference. You can add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed.
    If you'd like to add some fresh herbs for flavor, stir in the finely chopped chives and parsley.
  • Can be used or eaten immediately, or refrigerate the vegan tofu cottage cheese for at least 30 minutes before serving to enhance flavors.
