Cottage Cheese Salad
Description
The Cottage Cheese Salad brings together fresh vegetables and creamy cottage cheese to create a simple, textured dish. The cucumber and cherry tomatoes provide juicy crunch, while the red onion adds sharpness. Cottage cheese is mixed with white wine vinegar to introduce mild acidity, then combined with the vegetables to retain their crunch by using a slotted spoon to drain excess liquid. Topped with fresh herbs like dill or parsley, along with cracked black pepper, flaky sea salt, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, the salad offers balanced flavors and a satisfying mouthfeel. It works well as a light side dish and can be served alongside bread or pita chips for added heartiness.
