½ tsponion powder
-
⅛ tspdried dill
Poppyseed dressing

1 Tbsp (15ml)vegetable oil

½ cup (60g)roasted walnuts, chopped
Make your own
Directions
- Add all the "feta" ingredients to a small food processor and blend until creamy. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for at least 3 hours to harden*.
- For the dressing, combine the ingredients in a small bowl.
- To assemble the salad, add the spinach, blueberries and shallot to a large bowl. Drizzle over some dressing and toss to coat.
- Top with a crumbling of the feta and the chopped walnuts. Serve with extra dressing and feta on the side. Enjoy!
Notes
- †Refined coconut oil is coconut oil that doesn't smell or taste like coconuts. Using refined coconut oil is preferred to unrefined as the feta retains a more neutral flavour.
- * The longer it sits in the fridge, the more crumbly the texture will become.
Storage
- The undressed salad can be store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- The poppyseed dressing can be kept in a sealed glass jar for up to 4 days.
- The tofu feta can be kept in its container for up to 5 days.

This salad was unbelievable! The first time I saw it, I didn’t think much of it. I mean, it looks like spinach and blueberries, big deal. But oh boy! PUL really understands the key components to a phenomenal salad dressing.
I had also made this vegan feta when this recipe first came out three years ago, but the salad didn’t appeal to me. Now I see how amazing PUL salads are!
This one is a real show-stopper. I have surprised multiple people with the combination of the ingredients. My husband hates feta and other cheeses, but even he loves this salade! 😍
I do love this recipe, I have made it over and over again. But I struggle with what to pair it with as a side dish. For guests I would like to serve it next to "a main dish". Any tips?
Is the nutritional yeast mandated?
This was so good!!! This is my new favorite salad of all time ♡ It felt fancy too. I would make this salad if I want to impress someone in the future 😆
Delicious. Substituted the walnuts with roasted pecans. Dressing is very tasty.
I liked it overall, but I find that the sauce is a bit too sweet and ‘mayo-charged’ for my (personal) taste. I was thinking about substituting with a simpler yogurt-dill dressing or even a balsamic vinegar-dressing. What do you think? Thanks also for the vegan feta recipe: it is mind blowing! Greetings from Italy!
Can I just say heavenly
Super tasty!
This is salad is amazing! Can’t believe how good the dressing is! Definitely a perfect salad for people who are new to putting fruits in salads. Or miss cheese
Wow this salad is amazing.
I made a huge batch of the feta so I could have more on each salad and for it to last the week.
I used strawberries.
The dressing is the best poppy seed dressing I’ve ever had. I used my own homemade vegan Mayo, not store bought.
Just used regular raw walnuts.
The dressing goes a long way. I went a little overboard on my first salad. I can’t wait to eat this everyday!
Wow, better than I could have imagined!! So good..
Wow, better than I could have imagined. So good!!
DELICIOUS! The dressing pairs really nicely with everything. I didn’t have any walnuts so I substituted almonds and it works perfectly!
Thanks for this!
This is the best salad we have ever tasted!
My wife and I cannot go through the week without eating it at least once.
Perfect combination of flavors and textures!
We love it.
Amazing and quick for dinner! Added beets and red onion which made it a beautiful and tasty composition :)
so refreshing and tasty !! I made this salad for me and my family and they loved it sm !!! :) I made it again yesterday and this time I used beetroots instead of the blueberries and it was AMAZING !!!
This salad recipe is so simple, yet so amazing! Never thought I could get my kiddo to happily eat spinach without any complaints! Thanks for all your recipes Sadia. ❤️ from Vancouver,CA
I am new to salads. Yesterday I tried your Caesar salad and it was so so good.
I eye-balled its dressing quantity and substituted few ingredients due to availability, so i had a lot left over (And it turned a bit like sauce consistency). So I decided to give this salad a try with the leftover sauce.
And it tasted amazing. I could have never thought that I can eat raw spinach.
I read all the reviews before trying because I was very skeptical and it surpassed my expectation.
You got me hooked to salads. I'll search more recipes now.
And btw, I used the same leftover sauce for crispy baked potato from another blog (Nisha's RainbowPlantLife). It worked perfectly.
Your recipes and contents are amazing.
This salad is so good, that when we had guests, they immediately wanted the recipe for it. I can only recommend it ;).
I don't leave reviews much, but this is the best salad!! Everything pairs so deliciously. 10/10 recommend :)
Been making this twice a week since the recipe came out! So scrumptious 😋
This tastes like summer - it's so refreshing!
Really nice salad recipe! The tofu feta is a big hit at our home and we use it in many different recipes - over grilled veggies and on bread as well. I really recommend both the salad and the feta on its own.
I absolutely love this recipe! My family loved it too.
The feta is amazing. Could the it be frozen to use at a later date?
Great recipe! Thanks.
Was a hit at a little dinner party :))
I make this every week now, amazing!!
Did anyone else find that they had a lot of "feta" left over compared to the other ingredients? 😅
Hi Sadia,
Thanks for this marvelous recipe.
I’d made the feta with olive oil and it didn’t get crumbly though I left it overnight in the fridge.
Do you think that the olive oil interfered on the texture?
Thanks,
Diana
The feta gets the 1st, 2nd and 3rd price altogether. It’s so good! Great recipe, Sadia.
I like the sauce as well, it compliments the salad beautifully.
Great summer Sunday lunch!
