Ingredients
- low-fat cottage cheese 1 cup
- kiwi 1 medium
- walnuts 1 tbsp
Method
-
Prepare the kiwi.
Start by washing the kiwi thoroughly under running water. Use a knife or a spoon to peel off the skin carefully. Once peeled, slice the kiwi into thin, even rounds or half-moons depending on your preference.
Tip: If you find peeling tricky, cut off both ends of the kiwi and slide a spoon between the skin and the flesh to separate them easily. -
Chop the walnuts.
Take 1 tablespoon of walnuts and chop them into smaller pieces using a knife or pulse briefly in a food processor. This will add a nice crunchy texture to your dish.
Tip: Be careful not to over-chop; you want small chunks, not walnut powder. -
Assemble the dish.
Place 1 cup (about 240g) of low-fat cottage cheese into a serving bowl. Spread the sliced kiwi evenly on top of the cottage cheese. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the kiwi slices.
Tip: For a more visually appealing presentation, arrange the kiwi slices in a circular pattern before sprinkling the walnuts.
Pro tips
- Use fresh, ripe kiwi for the best flavor and sweetness.
- If you prefer a sweeter taste, drizzle a small amount of honey or maple syrup over the top.
