Ingredients
- Low-fat cottage cheese 3/4 cup
- Fresh peach 1 medium
Method
-
Prepare the peach.
Wash the peach thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or residues. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut around the peach's pit to separate it into two halves. Twist the halves to separate them and remove the pit. Then, slice the peach into thin, even slices about 1/4 inch thick.
Tip: If the peach is very ripe, handle gently to avoid squishing the slices. -
Measure the cottage cheese.
Using a measuring cup, scoop out 3/4 cup (approximately 180 grams) of low-fat cottage cheese. This portion has been adjusted to meet the target nutrition values.
Tip: Use a spoon to level off the cottage cheese for an accurate measurement. -
Assemble the dish.
Place the measured cottage cheese into a serving bowl or plate. Arrange the peach slices neatly on top or alongside the cottage cheese.
Tip: For a prettier presentation, fan the peach slices in a circular pattern.
Pro tips
- Choose ripe but firm peaches for the best texture and sweetness.
- If you prefer a cooler snack, chill the cottage cheese and peach slices in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before serving.
