Ingredients

Scale

Cottage Cheese and Chickpea Salad:

  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cucumbers, diced
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Dice the cucumbers into small, uniform pieces. Thinly slice the red onion. Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly under cold running water. Prepping the ingredients ahead of time will make the salad come together in minutes when you’re ready to eat.
  2. Combine the Ingredients: In a large bowl, gently combine the cottage cheese, drained and rinsed chickpeas, diced cucumbers, and thinly sliced red onion. Using a large bowl makes it easier to toss the salad without spilling any of the ingredients.
  3. Dress the Salad: Drizzle the olive oil and red wine vinegar over the salad. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust the amount of dressing and seasoning to your preference. Taste the salad and add more if needed.
  4. Toss and Serve: Toss the salad gently but thoroughly to combine all the ingredients and coat them evenly with the dressing. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. Tossing the salad ensures that all the ingredients are coated with the dressing, preventing some bites from being bland while others are overly seasoned.
