Great salad!

Hi guys,
Made such a good salad tonight, felt like a genius! (It isn't that big a deal, but I really love food and am excited whenever I make something good:)

Romaine lettuce (bagged, but sprinkled with cool bottled water to refresh)
Grated carrots
Diced cucumber
Lowfat cottage cheese

For some reason, it never occurred to me before to actually toss the salad with the cottage cheese. (I always just plopped it on top). The cucumber pieces & cottage cheese mix into a cool almost-dressing! This is an excellent hot weather combo.

I've heard you can also mix herbs into the cottage cheese. Next time I make this, I think I'll add a little dill to the cottage cheese :thumbsup:

IC is turning me into a cook!

Thanks Kadi!,

I'am going to try this salad this week! I'll let you know my opinion! Looks good though!

Kadi,
I tried your salad today. I did not think I would like it as cottage cheese is not a favorite of mine. But, I actually thought it was very good. I added some broccoli. It was such a treat to eat a salad with some taste to it.

Thank you,
Lyn

I added the dill, mixed it well into the cottage cheese. Also added hard-boiled egg & chopped grilled chicken (with garlic powder & salt cooked on the George Foreman Grill).

Tasty

I noticed the homepage of the website has the recipe newsletters right under the picture! Great ideas in there!!! In fact, sometimes I forget where I learn things about safe foods & I think the cottage cheese/herb idea came from Bev Laumann. Thank you Bev!!!
