Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (225 g) cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning
- ½ cup diced cucumber (English cucumber preferred)
- ½ cup halved cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
- 1 tablespoon sliced fresh chives or green onions (optional)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the veggies: wash and dice the cucumber into small, bite-sized pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes and finely chop the red onion and chives (if using). Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, add 1 cup (225 g) of cottage cheese. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of everything bagel seasoning over it. Gently stir with a spoon or small whisk until the seasoning is evenly distributed and the cottage cheese looks speckled.
- Fold in the diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and chives. Toss lightly to mix while keeping the veggies crunchy.
- Drizzle 1 teaspoon of lemon juice over the mixture. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, being cautious with salt due to the seasoning.
- Optionally, drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil on top and gently stir for a silkier texture.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Stir before serving again to redistribute flavors.
Notes
If cottage cheese is very wet, drain it slightly to avoid a watery bowl. For a smoother texture, blend the cottage cheese briefly before mixing. Adjust seasoning carefully as everything bagel seasoning contains salt. Store veggies separately if prepping ahead to maintain crunch.
