Herby vegan cheese
4 - 6
Easy
15 minutes
20 minutesThis recipe will give you a feta-like vegan cheese. I use nuts, but you can also use soaked or fermented sunflower seeds. Sunflower seeds will yield a softer cheese, but it is just as delicious. It keeps very well and will last for a week in the fridge. I use it for all my cheese needs, including as a topping for salads.
