Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 cup mixed fresh fruits (berries, apples, peaches), chopped
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts)
  • Few fresh mint or basil leaves, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruits: Wash your chosen fresh fruits thoroughly and chop them into bite-sized pieces to create easy-to-eat portions and vibrant colors in your salad.
  2. Mix Cottage Cheese: Scoop the fresh cottage cheese into a bowl and gently fluff it with a fork to enhance its creamy texture without breaking it down completely.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the chopped fruits to the bowl with the cottage cheese and give everything a gentle stir to blend the flavors evenly without mashing the fruits.
  4. Add Sweetener and Nuts: Drizzle a small amount of honey or maple syrup if desired, then sprinkle your chosen nuts on top to add texture and a touch of natural sweetness.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Finish with freshly chopped mint or basil leaves to lift the salad’s aroma before serving it chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use ripe fruits for maximum sweetness and flavor without extra sweeteners.
  • Chill the salad in the fridge for 15-20 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld beautifully.
  • Combine both soft and crunchy fruits to maintain an exciting texture.
  • Prepare fresh each day to preserve nutrients and taste quality.
  • Keep portion sizes moderate to enjoy a healthy, guilt-free snack or light meal.
