This substitute for cottage cheese can be used whenever you would use dairy cottage cheese. It is wonderful in salads, even replacing feta in Greek salads. Increase the amounts of the seasonings to suit your palate.

1 lb. firm tofu
1 tbsp. soy oil (optional)
1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tbsp. nutritional yeast (optional)
1 1/2 tbsp. minced onion
1 tbsp. minced chives
2 tsp. minced dill
1/2 tsp. salt free seasoning

Place half the tofu and the remaining ingredients in a blender and process to form a cream. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Mash the remaining tofu with a fork, then mix it into the blended portion and combine well. Adjust seasonings to taste. Refrigerate, tightly covered, until ready to use. Yield: 2 cups.
