Cottage Style Cucumber Salad image

Here's a healthy, tasty & low-fat variation on a cucumber salad that provides the creamy texture w/o the use of mayo or sour cream. It uses cottage cheese to do that & my DH has come to like it nearly as well as the mayo or sour cream varieties. This works well as the salad part of a dinner meal, a light lunch & even travels well for a picnic or camping trip. Enjoy!

Time 20m

Yield 6 4 oz servings, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup cottage cheese (not dry variety)
1 medium cucumber (seeds removed & diced)
1 large tomatoes (seeds removed & diced)
1/2 cup leek (or onion of choice, diced)
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare & combine all veggie ingredients. Add sugar & then seasoning salt & black pepper to taste.
  • Refrigerate 2 hrs to allow flavours to blend & pour off any watery liquid that has formed before final step.
  • Fold in cottage cheese gently, mix just enough to get a good distributional mix & serve immediately.
  • NOTE: Altho not part of the "basic" recipe, I often add diced avocado for its colour & complimentary flavour.
