Greek Salad Cottage Cheese Bowl

It wouldn’t be a Mediterranean menu without a Greek salad in some form or another—these cottage cheese bowls fit the bill. Packed with protein, nutrient-rich vegetables, and healthy fats (not to mention a whole lot of flavor), they’re the perfect breakfast, lunch, or satisfying snack.

Both cottage cheese and hard-boiled eggs provide the protein for these bowls. Simply spoon a serving of cottage cheese into a bowl and top with all of those quintessential Mediterranean vegetables—tomatoes, cucumbers, and sweet peppers. Meaty Kalamata olives and a drizzle of olive oil add some good-for-you fats, while capers and lemon juice provide bright, briny flavor to the salad. We like to sprinkle everything with za’atar, which is usually made from a combination of dried herbs (like oregano and coriander), sesame seeds, and sumac, and scoop up the cottage cheese and salad with pita chips.
