I ate the cottage cheese tuna mixture for the first time today at lunch and it filled me up until after work and I even had loads of energy for a run! I love it!!

Cottage Cheese, Egg, and Tomato Salad

This is one of those “add as much as you like” type toss-ups.

Hard Boiled eggs 3-4, roughly chopped
Ripe Tomatoes, 1-2 cut into slivers
Cottage Cheese, I recommend 1% but skim is also delicious
Salt, add to taste, I recommend sea salt
Pepper, add to taste

Parsley or Chives, minced or chopped, add to taste

Mix it up and serve chilled. This makes an awesome lunch, and I LOVED it as a child. My mom found this recipe in one of those bizarre 1940’s “easy cook” recipe books she found at my Grandmother’s. I like to eat it on Saltines or Melba snacks when I feel like I need breads.

I like to throw things together, in seconds, or minutes if possible, but love the act of eating. Cottage cheese with strawberries is just about the loviest example of this! Or cottage cheese on a plate of spinach, various veges and some fruit. Oh my!

This page is amazing, I have such trouble getting enough protein!

I find that cottage cheese makes a great substitution in many dips that require mayonnaise and other “junk” bases. My favorite dip of all time is cottage cheese and some cocktail sauce (admittedly not the healthiest…) topped with any or all of shredded cheese, red peppers, tomatoes, green onion, and canned shrimp.

Thank you so much, these are incredible recipes! I am truly one of those ‘cottage cheese crybabies’. Cottage cheese has so many benefits that I was regretting not including it in my diet. Can’t wait to try a bunch of these recipes!

This is my favorite cottage cheese breakfast.

Mix together:

Cottage cheese
Unsalted cashews
Trader Joe’s wild blueberries
(or cherries, raspberries, or strawberries)

Besides tasting great, the fruit turns your cottage cheese a pretty color!

Krista, your website is inspirational and educational (I shared it with my trainer today)!

My Yiddish grandmother used to mix egg noodles with cottage cheese for me when I was little. Spinach pasta works great here too. I wonder if this would taste good with brown rice pasta? Probably. It’s great comfort food, and fast.

Another Nice Yiddish Grandmother snack: canned pineapple and cottage cheese. But after years of avoiding sugar and trying to eat mostly local fruit, I haven’t really eaten canned pineapple in a while.

Plain cottage cheese is great, too! Perfect fast protein when rushing from one place to another on the subway with little time to stop and eat something substantial.

I am on the trail of a pasta made with cottage cheese, dry curd, and flour, don’t know what else, dropped into boiling water, called (don’t know spelling,) sounds like vininikes, short i sounds. There is probably an egg and salt in there, don’t know anything else. It is probably
Greek or Russian, don’t know what it is topped with. Any answers out there?
