Ingredients
- low-fat cottage cheese 3/4 cup
- cucumber slices 3/4 cup
Method
-
Measure Cottage Cheese.
Using a measuring cup, scoop out 3/4 cup (about 180 grams) of low-fat cottage cheese. This portion is adjusted to meet the target calorie and macronutrient goals.
Tip: Use a kitchen scale for more accuracy if available. -
Prepare Cucumber Slices.
Take fresh cucumber and slice it into thin rounds. Measure out 3/4 cup (about 180 grams) of these slices to keep the carb and calorie count within the target.
Tip: For extra crunch, leave the cucumber skin on, but wash thoroughly before slicing. -
Combine and Serve.
Place the measured cottage cheese in a serving bowl. Arrange the cucumber slices on the side or mix gently with the cottage cheese. Serve immediately for the best texture and freshness.
Tip: Add a pinch of black pepper or fresh herbs like dill for extra flavor without adding calories.
Pro tips
- If you prefer a creamier texture, allow the cottage cheese to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.
- To keep cucumbers crisp, store sliced cucumbers in a sealed container with a paper towel to absorb moisture.
