Dairy-Free Feta Salad with Macadamia Sauce
Jump To Recipe
Feta salad is basically vegetables with some chickpeas topped with crispy Arabic bread (baked or fried) and a garlic yogurt sauce. The name is quite confusing as you’d think there would be some feta cheese in the recipe.
I originally created this recipe with a cashew sauce….which was great. But after trying it with a slightly adapted version of Macadamia Hummus on The Raw Chef…it went from great to absolutely awesome. So i’m sticking with this, even though macadamias are quite expensive and not always available. What can I say, I love a challenge.
If you’re not using a high-speed blender then it’s best to soak the macadamias for a couple of hours in advance.
If you like macadamia nuts, then definitely check out Macadamia Raspberry Chia Minis…..they are even more awesome!
