Questions

Is there a substitute for feta in Salad?

The entry for Salad calls for 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled. In its place: Crumbled queso fresco or ricotta salata is milder but behaves the same. For dairy-free, crumble firm tofu and marinate it in lemon juice and salt.

Can I make Salad dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in Salad is 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled. Swap the cheese for a plant-based melting cheese (expect a milder flavor). The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Is Salad vegan?

No, though it is vegetarian. What keeps it from vegan is 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled. For fully plant-based entries, see the vegan salad collection.

How many calories are in Salad?

One serving (the recipe makes 4) is about 280 calories, with 5 g protein, 16 g carbohydrate and 17 g fat, plus 3 g fiber and 830 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list.

Can I freeze Salad?

It is not a good candidate. Water seeps out of the cucumber as the salad sits, so keep the dressing apart and toss Salad just before serving. Undressed and refrigerated, the components hold about two days. It does not freeze.
