Mixed Fruit Salad with Cottage Cheese

Ingredients

• Low-fat cottage cheese 1 cup
• Apple 0.5 cup
• Grapes 0.25 cup
• Melon 0.25 cup

Method

1. Prepare the fruits. Wash the apple, grapes, and melon thoroughly under running water. Peel the apple if you prefer, then chop it into small bite-sized pieces. Cut the grapes in half to make them easier to eat. Chop the melon into small cubes.
   Tip: Use a sharp knife to make clean cuts and avoid bruising the fruits.
2. Combine fruits. Place the chopped apple, halved grapes, and chopped melon into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Gently toss them together to mix evenly.
   Tip: Be gentle while tossing to avoid crushing the softer fruits.
3. Add cottage cheese. Add 1 cup (210g) of low-fat cottage cheese to the bowl with the mixed fruits. Using a spoon, gently fold the cottage cheese into the fruit mixture until well combined.
   Tip: Folding gently helps keep the fruit pieces intact and evenly distributes the cottage cheese.
4. Serve immediately. Divide the mixed fruit salad with cottage cheese into two bowls or plates and serve fresh. You can chill it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes if you prefer it cold.
   Tip: Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Pro tips

• Use fresh, ripe fruits for the best flavor and sweetness.
