Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1.5 tablespoon dill diced
  • ¼ cup English cucumber sliced
  • ¼ cup radish sliced
  • ¼ cup red bell pepper diced
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
  • 1 tablespoon shelled hemp seeds optional
  • pinch salt
  • pinch black pepper optional

Instructions

  • Finely dice the dill, and stir through the cottage cheese with a pinch of salt and black pepper (optional) in your serving bowl.
  • Dice the bell pepper, radish and cucumber. Scatter over the cottage cheese bowl, then sprinkle over the pumpkin seeds and hemp seeds (if using).

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of dill to taste preference.
  • If you prefer, you can easily blend the cottage cheese first for a smoother texture.
  • For more flavor, I suggest to choose full fat cottage cheese.
