Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese Use full-fat or low-fat; small-curd or large-curd both work.
  • 1 cup diced watermelon Seedless if possible; cut into roughly 1/2-inch cubes.
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds Toasted for more flavor; substitute with chopped pistachios or walnuts.
  • Honey Optional, for drizzling; substitute maple syrup or agave for a vegan option.
  • Mint leaves For garnish, optional; basil is a fine alternative.

Instructions

Assembly

  • Place the cottage cheese in a medium bowl.
  • Gently fold in the diced watermelon so pieces are evenly distributed. Do this lightly to avoid crushing the melon.
  • Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the top. If you like warm nuts, toast them in a dry skillet for 2–3 minutes first until fragrant.
  • Drizzle a little honey over the bowl if you want extra sweetness. A teaspoon is usually enough.
  • Garnish with mint leaves and serve immediately.

Notes

Best served in a shallow bowl with visible watermelon and crunchy almonds. Pair it with whole-grain toast or granola. For meal prep, store components separately for best texture.
