Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1 cup cucumber, chopped (about 1/2 cucumber)
- 1 cup roma tomato, chopped (about 1 tomato)
- 1 green onion, sliced thinly
Dairy & Protein
- 1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese
- 1 hard boiled egg, chopped
Condiments & Seasonings
- 1/2 Tablespoon balsamic glaze
- Everything But The Bagel (EBTB) seasoning, to taste
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Vegetables: Add the chopped cucumber and roma tomato into a mixing bowl, ensuring even distribution of the fresh vegetables.
- Add Dairy and Egg: Top the vegetables with half a cup of fat-free cottage cheese and the chopped hard boiled egg, adding creaminess and protein to the salad.
- Season and Dress: Drizzle half a tablespoon of balsamic glaze over the top, then sprinkle with Everything But The Bagel seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste for a flavorful finish.
- Serve or Store: Eat immediately for best freshness or store all ingredients separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days to maintain texture and flavor.
Notes
- For a richer taste, you can use full-fat cottage cheese or add feta cheese instead.
- Hard boil eggs in advance to save time when preparing the salad.
- Adjust seasoning quantities based on your preference, especially with the salt as EBTB seasoning can be salty.
- Serve chilled for a refreshing experience, especially during warm weather.
