The viral savoury cottage cheese bowl made into a proper lunch: a cup of cottage cheese under ribbons of deli turkey, crisp cucumber, tomatoes and sweet pepper, a crunch of pistachios and a good shake of everything-bagel seasoning. Six minutes and one bowl.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (1%), 1% or 2%
- 1/3 cucumber, sliced or diced
- 8 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
- 3 oz deli turkey breast, sliced deli turkey (roast or smoked), torn into ribbons
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced, or chives
- 1 tbsp pistachios, roasted, roughly chopped
Steps
- Spoon the cottage cheese into a wide bowl.
- Arrange the cucumber, tomatoes, pepper and turkey around it.
- Scatter over the green onion and pistachios, shake on the everything-bagel seasoning and a grind of black pepper, and mix as you eat.
Good to know
No everything-bagel seasoning?
A pinch of flaky salt, black pepper and a teaspoon of sesame seeds gets you most of the way; a few drops of hot sauce are good too.
Can I swap the turkey for smoked salmon?
Yes, it's the other classic version: 3 oz of smoked salmon with dill in place of the green onion, for about the same score.
