Ingredients
Sunshiney Vegetables
- 12 oz cherry tomatoes halved, 340 g
- ½ English cucumber sliced
- 4 green onions whites and greens separated, sliced
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil 15 mL
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice 15 mL
- Pinch black pepper
Herby Cottage Cheese
- 1 oz container large curd cottage cheese 396 g
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice 15 mL
- 1 tsp fresh dill finely chopped
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Mix Veggies: In a large bowl gently combine halved tomatoes, sliced cucumber, just the white parts of the sliced green onions, and salt. Let sit while you prepare the rest.
- Cottage Cheese: Combine all of the Herby Cottage Cheese ingredients in a separate bowl.
- Finish Veggies: Tilt the bowl with the veggies to pour out excess juices. Stir in the olive oil, lemon juice, and pepper.
- Assemble: Spoon cottage cheese mixture onto a serving platter and spread into an even layer. Spoon mixed veggies on top. Sprinkle with the green slices of the green onion. Serve fresh with crusty bread.
Notes
- Can I use other types of cottage cheese? Absolutely! While the recipe calls for large curd cottage cheese, you can opt for small curd or even low-fat versions based on your preference. Just keep in mind that the texture and creaminess may vary slightly.
- Can I make this salad ahead of time for a picnic or potluck? While you can prepare the components of the salad ahead of time, it's best to assemble and serve shortly before enjoying. Assemble the layers just before serving to maintain the optimal texture and appearance.
