    1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt

    2/3 cup shredded seeded cucumber

Feta and Spinach Couscous Tofu Patties Recipe Instructions

    1. Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in couscous, cover and remove from the heat. Let stand for 5 minutes.

    2. Combine yogurt, cucumber, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder and salt in a small bowl.

    3. Mash tofu with a fork in a large bowl. Add spinach, feta, dill, onion, pepper, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and the couscous; stir until well combined. Form into 8 patties, using about 1/2 cup for each.

    4. Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to the lowest setting. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 4 patties and cook, turning once, until lightly golden on both sides, about 6 minutes total. Transfer to the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining oil and patties. Serve over lettuce, topped with the yogurt sauce and garnished with tomatoes, if desired.

    Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate the yogurt sauce (Step 2) for up to 6 hours.
