Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups Full-Fat Cottage Cheese Small curd recommended for best texture.
  • 1 cup Persian Cucumbers diced
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes halved
  • 0.25 cup Red Onion thinly sliced
  • 0.25 cup Kalamata Olives pitted and halved
  • 0.25 cup Feta Cheese crumbled
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Dill chopped
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 0.5 tsp Salt or to taste
  • 0.25 tsp Black Pepper freshly ground, or to taste

Equipment

  • 1 Large Bowl
  • 1 Knife
  • 1 Cutting Board

Instructions
 

  1. Start by washing and chopping your vegetables. Dice the cucumbers, halve the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onion.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, diced cucumbers, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese. Add the chopped fresh dill.
  3. Drizzle the olive oil and fresh lemon juice over the salad. Season generously with salt and black pepper. Stir everything together until the ingredients are well-combined and the cottage cheese evenly coats the vegetables.
  4. For the best taste and texture, serve the salad immediately.

Notes

For meal prep, store the chopped vegetables separately from the cottage cheese and dressing. Combine just before serving for optimal freshness.
Add grilled chicken or chickpeas to make it an even more filling meal.
