Ingredients
- Low-fat cottage cheese 1/2 cup
- Cucumber 1/2 cup
Method
-
Prepare the cucumber.
Wash the cucumber thoroughly under running water. If you prefer, peel the cucumber using a vegetable peeler. Then slice the cucumber into thin, even slices about 1/8 inch thick.
Tip: Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer helps create uniform slices for better presentation. -
Measure the cottage cheese.
Scoop out 1/2 cup of low-fat cottage cheese using a measuring cup. Make sure to level it off for an accurate portion.
Tip: If you want a creamier texture, gently stir the cottage cheese before measuring. -
Assemble and serve.
Arrange the cucumber slices on a plate in a single layer or slightly overlapping. Spoon the cottage cheese over the cucumber slices or serve it on the side. Optionally, sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper or a pinch of salt for extra flavor.
Tip: Add a few fresh herbs like dill or chives for a flavor boost.
Pro tips
- For extra crunch, chill the cucumber slices before serving.
- Use full-fat cottage cheese if you prefer a richer taste, but adjust calories accordingly.
