Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese Choose small- or large-curd; full-fat for creamier texture
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, diced (English cucumber works well)
  • 1/4 cup bell pepper, diced (any color)
  • 1/4 cup avocado, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (optional — parsley, chives, or dill)
  • Olive oil (optional for drizzling)
  • Your choice of toppings (nuts, seeds, extra veggies, olives, or a sprinkle of za’atar)

Instructions

Assembly

  • Place 1 cup of cottage cheese into a medium bowl.
  • Add the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and diced bell pepper. Gently fold to combine.
  • Arrange avocado slices on top. Add any extras (nuts, seeds, herbs, or olives).
  • Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust.
  • If you like, finish with a light drizzle of olive oil. Serve right away, or cover and chill for meal prep.

Notes

For best texture, serve immediately. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3–4 days, but keep avocado separate until ready to eat to prevent browning. Freezing is not recommended as it changes the texture of cottage cheese and fresh veggies.
