Vegetable salad with cottage cheese

4 servings

15 minutes

Vegetable salad with cottage cheese is a light and refreshing dish that fits well into the traditions of Italian cuisine, known for its simplicity and use of fresh ingredients. Crunchy vegetables—juicy tomatoes, sweet peppers, cucumbers, and carrots—create a vibrant mix of textures perfectly complemented by the softness of homemade cottage cheese and the tenderness of sour cream. The light spiciness of garlic adds depth to the flavor, while onion provides a slight sharpness. This salad is not only tasty but also healthy, rich in vitamins and easily digestible. It can be served as a standalone dish or as a side to meat and fish dishes, making it an excellent alternative to heavier mayonnaise salads in summer.
