Step 1

No need to press the tofu, but we do want to remove some of the water. Remove the block of tofu from the package, and wrap a tea towel or paper towels around it. Holding the tofu over the sink lightly squeeze to remove some of the water. Place the tofu in a bowl with the other ingredients, starting with the lesser amount of yogurt and salt.

Step 2

Use a fork to mash the tofu and incorporate it with the yogurt and seasonings. Mash until the "curds" are as small as you like.

Step 3

Taste for seasoning, adding more yogurt, garlic, and salt, if desired. Enjoy your healthy vegan cottage cheese right away, or refrigerate it for an hour or more to allow the flavors to mingle.
