Servings: 1 serving
Calories: 356kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 peach or nectarine stone removed, diced
- ¼ cup blueberries
- 1 tablespoon pomegranate seeds
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey, adjust amount to taste
- mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Spoon the cottage cheese into your serving bowl or plate. If you prefer a smooth texture, you can blend the cottage cheese and so whip it to remove the lumps.
- Add the peach, blueberries and pomegranate seeds, or fruit of choice, to top the cottage cheese. Drizzle over maple syrup (or honey) and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
Notes
- If the lumpy texture of cottage cheese isn't for you, then simply whip it in your blender for 20 seconds or so for a smooth texture.
- You can also top the salad with other add-ins, including pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, ground flax, suitable nut or seed butter, low histamine nuts or my low histamine muesli for some crunch.
- Nutritional information is auto-generated and should be understood to be an estimate.
- cottage cheese isn't rated on the mast cell disorders list, but is given as 'well tolerated' on the SIGHI elimination diet for histamine intolerance list. Only use if known to tolerate well.
- if you choose to use different fruits and are low histamine, then it's likely best to avoid strawberries and kiwi as they are higher histamine (both score 2 on the SIGHI list), as well as citrus fruits.
