Ingredients

Low-fat cottage cheese 1/2 cup
Cucumber 1/4 medium
Cherry tomatoes 1/4 cup
Black pepper to taste

Method

Prepare the cucumber. Wash the cucumber thoroughly under running water. Using a sharp knife, slice about 1/4 of a medium cucumber into thin, even slices. Set aside.
Tip: To make slicing easier, chill the cucumber beforehand.
Prepare the cherry tomatoes. Rinse the cherry tomatoes well. Cut 1/4 cup of cherry tomatoes in half. If the tomatoes are larger, quarter them instead.
Tip: Use ripe, firm tomatoes for the best flavor.
Assemble the dish. Place 1/2 cup of low-fat cottage cheese in a serving bowl or plate. Arrange the sliced cucumbers and halved cherry tomatoes on top or around the cottage cheese.
Tip: For an attractive presentation, alternate cucumber slices and tomato halves.
Season. Sprinkle freshly ground black pepper over the assembled dish to taste. Mix gently if desired.
Tip: Add black pepper gradually to avoid overpowering the delicate flavors.

Pro tips

Use fresh and firm vegetables for the best texture and flavor.
Chill the cottage cheese and vegetables before assembling for a refreshing taste.
