Ingredients

Low-fat cottage cheese 1.5 cups
Fresh strawberries 1 cup
Honey 1 tbsp

Method

Prepare the strawberries. Wash the fresh strawberries thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or residues. Pat them dry gently with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Remove the green leafy tops (hulls) by cutting them off with a small knife. Slice the strawberries evenly into thin pieces, about 1/4 inch thick, to ensure they mix well with the cottage cheese.
Tip: Use a serrated knife to slice strawberries easily without crushing them.
Measure the cottage cheese. Scoop 1.5 cups (about 360 grams) of low-fat cottage cheese into a medium-sized bowl. Use a measuring cup for accuracy. Cottage cheese should be fresh and cold for the best texture and taste.
Tip: If the cottage cheese is too watery, drain excess liquid using a fine mesh sieve before measuring.
Combine strawberries and cottage cheese. Add the sliced strawberries on top of the cottage cheese in the bowl. Gently fold them together using a spoon or spatula to distribute the fruit evenly without breaking the slices.
Tip: Folding gently preserves the texture of the strawberries.
Drizzle honey. Measure 1 tablespoon (about 14 grams) of honey and drizzle it evenly over the cottage cheese and strawberry mixture. The honey adds natural sweetness and complements the tangy flavor of the cottage cheese.
Tip: Use a spoon to drizzle honey slowly for even coverage.
Serve immediately. Serve the cottage cheese with sliced strawberries and honey immediately for the freshest taste. Optionally, you can chill it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving if you prefer it cold.
Tip: This dish is best enjoyed fresh to preserve the texture and flavor of the strawberries.

Pro tips

For an extra crunch, sprinkle a tablespoon of chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts on top.
If strawberries are out of season, frozen strawberries can be thawed and used, but fresh is best for texture.
