  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • Incorporate the nutritional yeast, fresh lemon juice, dried oregano, and sea salt into the tofu base.
  • Pulse the food processor 5 to 8 times or mash with a fork until the mechanical structure resembles small-curd cheese.
