Prepare the cucumber.
Wash a fresh cucumber thoroughly under running water. Using a sharp knife, slice the cucumber into thin, even rounds about 1/8 inch thick. Measure out 1 cup (about 240g) of these slices and set aside.
Tip: For extra crunch, chill the cucumber before slicing. -
Measure the cottage cheese.
Open a container of low-fat cottage cheese and scoop out 1 cup (approximately 240g). Place it into a serving bowl.
Tip: Use a measuring cup for accuracy to match nutrition targets. -
Combine and serve.
Arrange the cucumber slices on top of or beside the cottage cheese in the bowl. You can gently mix them together or serve separately as preferred.
Tip: Add a pinch of black pepper or fresh herbs like dill for extra flavor, if desired.
Pro tips
