Cottage Cheese Salad

Ingredients:

  • ¾ cup cucumber, diced or sliced in rounds (pictured above) (Use minis if slicing in rounds.)
  • ¾ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 Tablespoons red onion, finely diced
  • 1 cup full fat cottage cheese (IMO, Good Culture brand is by far the best!)
  • ½ - 1 Tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • Drizzle of extra virgin olive oil (I love the Graza "drizzle" EVOO.)
  • Fresh herbs (dill or parsley are best) (I used a couple pinches of dried dill and it was great!)
  • Cracked pepper and flakey sea salt

Directions:

  • Combine tomatoes, cucumbers, and onion in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with a little salt and a crack of pepper and toss to combine.
  • Add cottage cheese + vinegar to a shallow bowl and stir to combine. Scoop veggies on top with a slotted spoon to drain excess liquid from the veggies.
  • If desired, toss to combine.  Top with herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, cracked pepper, and flaky sea salt. Enjoy on its own or served with pita chips or bread. (Siete Dip Chips are a fave at our house!)
