Ingredients

Scale

Cottage Cheese:

  • 2 cups cottage cheese

Chickpeas:

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

Cucumbers:

  • 2 cucumbers, diced

Red Onion:

  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced

Olive Oil:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Red Wine Vinegar:

  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

Salt and Pepper:

  • To taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients – Dice the cucumbers into small, uniform pieces. Thinly slice the red onion. Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly under cold running water. Prepping the ingredients ahead of time will make the salad come together in minutes when you’re ready to eat.
  2. Combine the Ingredients – In a large bowl, gently combine the cottage cheese, drained and rinsed chickpeas, diced cucumbers, and thinly sliced red onion. Using a large bowl makes it easier to toss the salad without spilling any of the ingredients.
  3. Dress the Salad – Drizzle the olive oil and red wine vinegar over the salad. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust the amount of dressing and seasoning to your preference. Taste the salad and add more if needed.
  4. Toss and Serve – Toss the salad gently but thoroughly to combine all the ingredients and coat them evenly with the dressing. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. Tossing the salad ensures that all the ingredients are coated with the dressing, preventing some bites from being bland while others are overly seasoned.
