Greek Tofu Bowl
Tofu is a great source of vegetarian protein. It’s low in calories and very mild in flavor, so it needs a little love to make it something you crave. Since I always get requests for new ways to enjoy tofu that’s not Asian, I came up with this healthy Greek Tofu recipe. It’s like a Greek salad with tofu, with lots of fresh and colorful vegetables. Plus, they pack in 32 grams of protein per serving. This is a great plant-based main course for lunch or dinner. More of my favorite easy tofu recipes are these Tofu Poke Bowls, Tofu Stir Fry, Spicy Sriracha Tofu Rice Bowls, and Tofu Tacos.
How do you infuse tofu with flavor?
Many Greek tofu marinade recipes use a liquid marinade to infuse flavor, but it didn’t seem like the way to go for a Mediterranean flavor. Instead, I created thinner cutlet and layered flavor with seasoned Greek yogurt and breadcrumbs, creating a light, yet crunchy tofu dish, even non-tofu lovers will enjoy!
Greek Tofu Ingredients
Tofu: Drain one package of extra firm tofu. Yogurt: I used nonfat plain Greek yogurt to coat the tofu. Garlic: Mince two garlic cloves. Lemon: Zest one lemon. Panko breadcrumbs for extra crispy tofu Seasoning: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano Greek Bowl Dressing: Olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, pepper Vegetables: Persian cucumber, red bell pepper, grape tomatoes, red onion Cheese: Crumble feta on top of the bowls.

How to Store Greek Bowls
The tofu will be the crispiest straight out of the oven, but if you want to meal prep these vegetarian Greek bowls, store the tofu, veggies, dressing, and cheese separately. Reheat the tofu in the air fryer, oven, or microwave until warm.
Variations
Vegetables: Feel free to use any combo of veggies you have. Avocado, roasted beets, and zucchini would all be good. Not a tofu fan? Swap it with shrimp or chicken. Herbs: Sprinkle the bowls with fresh herbs, like mint, dill, or basil. Jarred Ingredients: Top the Mediterranean bowls with kalamata olives, capers, or artichoke hearts. Make It More Filling: Add brown rice, quinoa, pita bread or chickpeas. Vegan Tofu Bowls: Omit the cheese and use dairy-free yogurt. Sauce: If you want more of a sauce on top, top if with tzatziki or drizzle with tahini. Greek Salad: Add romaine lettuce or spinach if you want to add leafy greens.
