Ingredients
Savory Cottage Cheese Bowl
- 1 cup low fat cottage cheese
- 1 shallot minced
- 1 mini cucumber or ½ cup diced cucumber
- ½ medium yellow bell pepper chopped
- 1 Roma tomato diced
- 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil chopped
Sweet Cottage Cheese Bowl
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- ½ cup fresh berries
- ¼ cup granola
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
Savory Cottage Cheese Bowl
- Dice the cucumber, bell pepper, and tomato. Mince the shallot and chop the basil.
- Spoon the cottage cheese into a bowl and smooth the top.
- Arrange the cucumber, bell pepper, tomato, and shallot over the cottage cheese, either mixed in or in sections.
- Pour the white balsamic vinegar over the top and season with salt and pepper.
- Top with fresh basil and serve right away.
Sweet Cottage Cheese Bowl
- Spoon the cottage cheese into a bowl.
- Top with fresh berries, one type or a mix.
- Sprinkle granola over the berries.
- Drizzle with maple syrup and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use white balsamic in the savory bowl, regular balsamic will turn everything an odd pink shade.
- Add granola right before eating so it stays crunchy.
- Low fat or full fat cottage cheese both work fine, it's really about personal preference.
- Frozen berries work for the sweet bowl if thawed first, otherwise the bowl gets watery.
