This salad is so yummy! If I make it on Monday it can usually last the week, if I am the only eating it. I normal just make the salad minus the cottage cheese, and add that just before eating. If you haven't tried Za'atar, well you really should! You can find it in almost any health food stores
Amazing Cottage Cheese Salad with Za'atar
4 small Persian cucumbers, cut in fourths lengthwise and then into slices (Persian cucumbers are sometimes called mini-cucumbers )
1 cup diced fresh tomatoes (I used grape tomatoes cut in half)
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion
1/2 cup sliced olives (I used regular black olives, but Kalamata olives would be good)
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
about 2 T olive oil (a generous drizzle)
1 T Za'atar (more or less to taste)
1 cup diced fresh tomatoes (I used grape tomatoes cut in half)
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion
1/2 cup sliced olives (I used regular black olives, but Kalamata olives would be good)
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
about 2 T olive oil (a generous drizzle)
1 T Za'atar (more or less to taste)
Instructions:
Cut the Persian cucumbers into fourths lengthwise and then cut into slices. (If you have to use regular cucumbers, they may need to be fully or partially peeled.) Dice the tomatoes, slice the green onions, and slice the olives. Combine the vegetables in a salad bowl, large enough to toss the ingredients together. Put the cottage cheese on top of the tossed vegetables. Drizzle with a generous amount of olive oil, sprinkle with Za'atar to taste, and toss again.
