Equipment

  • 1 Mixing Bowl large
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Knife sharp

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 4 medium cucumbers sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/2 avocado diced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup arugula

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Wash and slice cucumbers into thin rounds. Optionally, peel them if desired for a smoother texture.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese with dill, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
  • Halve the cherry tomatoes, finely chop the red onion, and if using, dice the avocado.

Serving

  • Start with a base of cucumber slices in each bowl. Add a generous scoop of cottage cheese mix, then layer with tomatoes, onion, avocado, arugula, and feta if using.
  • Drizzle lemon juice over the assembled bowls for a fresh zing. Serve immediately or chill until ready to eat.

Storage

  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For best texture, keep the cottage cheese separate until ready to serve.

Notes

Pro Tips: Use fresh dill for the best flavor and adjust seasoning to your taste.
Ingredient Substitutions: Feel free to substitute dill with basil or parsley, and use ricotta instead of cottage cheese for a different texture.
How to Serve: Serve chilled for a refreshing snack or light lunch.
Storage & Freshness: Keep the bowls separate from additional toppings until serving to maintain freshness.
Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare all ingredients and store separately, assembling the bowls just before serving.
