Why You’ll Love Cottage Cheese Salad
Lettuce-free salad lovers unite! 👊 There’s so much to love about a chopped salad: evenly cutting each vegetable makes for such a visually appealing presentation. It’s so satisfying to scoop up a fork-full and enjoy a little morsel of each ingredient. Serving the diced salad atop a big scoop of cottage cheese is a super easy way to incorporate lots of protein into the meal. I love this salad as is, but you could also eat it like a dip, and scoop up some cottage cheese plus salad onto tortilla or pita chips. You can make the diced salad ahead—up to 2 days in advance—and serve it with cottage cheese when you’re ready to enjoy it.
How to Prepare Cottage Cheese Salad
🔪 Using a food chopper, pass each vegetable through, one at a time, until you have a fine dice. 🧂 Then, after dicing everything, open up the chopper and add olive oil, lemon juice, and salt, then mix. 🍽️ Next, spread the cottage cheese onto the base of a serving plate. 🌿 Lastly, add the chopped salad on top of the cottage cheese and top it off with fresh herbs (if using). Enjoy!
