Cottage Cheese Salad

Love it, that’s how my grandmother made our and that’s how I make it. Salt AMD pepper are the key for anyone who says it needs something else.

I cut the recipe in half as I am the only person in the house who would eat it. The recipe called only for salt & pepper but I added garlic powder to give it more flavor. The recipe sounds great with the fresh veggies & all, but I was NOT impressed. I probably will not make it again. Just not enough flavor.

I do all this but I also like to add green peppers & sometimes some red onions besides green onions. YUM!

This is absolutely my favorite way to eat cottage cheese. I like to throw in every finely chopped vegetable known to man into a carton of cottage cheese and munch on it all week. I made one last night with tomatoes, scallions, mushrooms, peas, cucumber, and a little shredded cheddar/parmesan!

I love to make this often! It’s best with the cottage cheese and chives or even when you add your own chives and let it sit. I also will dice up chicken or another meat and put it right in with it. SO GOOD!!!

Surprisingly tasty and very filling! This makes good sized portions with a nice balance of protein and carbs – perfect for a healthy lunch! I would imagine this tastes better if eaten right away. Mine sat for no more than 15 minutes and excess liquid from the tomatoes and cucumber was already pooling at the bottom. If you’re going to make it ahead of time, I suggest seeding and sweating the cucumbers and removing the excess liquid from the tomatoes with a light squeeze.

Love this! First had this T a restaurant in Jackson, Ohio called Arch and Eddies. Fell in love! Came home, found it here and made it! Fantastic addition to any meal!

Great way to make cottage cheese into a much more fulfilling side dish. Also extends the number of servings from the container of cattage cheese quite nicely.

Really quick and easy to make depending on how fast you can chop. 🙂 I only used 2 Roma tomatoes and added half of an orange bell pepper. Also, 2 large green onions was more than plenty.

I added some feta, black olives, and a little red onion and GREEKED it up a notch…

Here are my notes to embellish this wonderful summer salad. Add I bunch radishes, chopped fine Add 1-2 Avacados, diced Actually…..it’s easy this way: 1 tub cottage cheese 1 tomato 1 bunch scallions 1 Avacado I cucumber 1 bunch radishes Mix all together, salt and pepper to taste! Dice all veggies… Yum. Wonderful summer meal.

Very good. I used home made salsa in place of the tomatoes.

I’ve just been told by my doctor that I must go on a serious no cholesterol diet. I’ve always put fresh fruit on cottage cheese and never tried a savory salad with it. Today I found this recipe and I made this today. I added a famous no salt substitute, dill and a Tbsp acv. I ate the entire bowl before I thought to take a picture.

I’ve been making this for years, had never seen a recipe for it that I know of and I’m not sure when or where I got this from. Gotta say it’s one of my favorite salads/snacks just as written and is how I usually eat it. Sometimes though I’ll pour in a little Italian dressing or add either Dijon mustard or horseradish if I’m in the mood. Easy recipe to scale down for one person. Great recipe, thanks!

Made with Low fat cottage cheese and didn’t really have alot of flavor.

This is wonderful as is…When I was a little girl, we had this salad all the time…I was surprised more people had never heard of it. I add garlic to mine, and salt and pepper.

First time using cottage cheese in a salad. Was surprised that the family, including 3 teens loved it and all went for seconds. I added chopped celery, Kraft Zesty Italian, and some hot sauce. Will make it again! (have to it’s all gone)

I just prepared this simple but delicious salad. Great recipe!! Thanks for sharing it.

This is tough to rate because I just realized I’m not even sure if I’ve ever had/like cottage cheese. I made this as a simple dinner side and while we both ate it, I’m not sure it’s something I’ll make again. That being said, it IS a nice change of pace light (I used fat free cottage cheese) side. It’s a pretty *naked* palate, open to adding whatever herbs/spices/seasoning you prefer to up the flavor a notch. THANKS for a nice change of pace side, Randi!

I did not like this at all. I think it was the green onions to be honest, they were too overpowering! And I like just about anything lol.

It became watery. Maybe I didn’t drain enough? At any rate my husband didn’t care for it & niether did I.
