A quick, no-cook, high-protein cottage cheese bowl featuring everything bagel seasoning and fresh veggies, perfect for busy mornings or a nourishing snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225g) small-curd low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning
  • ½ cup (75g) cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup (75g) cucumber, diced
  • ¼ medium avocado, cubed
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped (optional)
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Scoop 1 cup (225g) of small-curd cottage cheese into a medium mixing bowl.
  2. Halve ½ cup (75g) of cherry tomatoes and dice ½ cup (75g) of cucumber. Cube ¼ of a medium avocado if using.
  3. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of everything bagel seasoning evenly over the cottage cheese. For a lighter taste, start with ½ tablespoon and adjust after mixing.
  4. Gently fold the seasoning and veggies into the cottage cheese using a spoon or spatula, maintaining the curds’ integrity.
  5. Add 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
  6. Optionally, drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil and sprinkle chopped fresh chives.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more everything bagel seasoning or lemon juice as desired.
  8. Serve immediately for best texture, or refrigerate up to a few hours if prepping ahead.

Notes

Use small-curd cottage cheese for best texture. Fold gently to avoid mushiness. Fresh veggies and herbs enhance flavor and texture. Can be customized with plant-based cottage cheese for vegan option or additional protein like quinoa or hemp seeds. Best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. Avoid overripe tomatoes to prevent watery texture.
