Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup cottage cheese
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • ½ cup diced cucumber
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped basil or parsley
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Toast or whole-grain crackers for serving

Method
 

  1. Spoon cottage cheese into a shallow bowl.
  2. Toss tomatoes and cucumber with olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and pepper.
  3. Spoon vegetables over the cheese and serve with toast or crackers.
  4. For a packed meal, keep the vegetables in a separate container and combine at serving time.
