Ingredients
- parsley for garnish (freshly chopped)
- 1 cup cottage cheese (I prefer Daisy brand for its texture)
- 2 cucumbers (Persian or English work best)
- pepper to taste (freshly ground for best flavor)
- sage to taste
- salt to taste
Step 1: Prepare the Cucumbers
Begin by peeling two cucumbers.
Adjust the quantity based on how much salad you wish to prepare.
After peeling, dice or slice the cucumbers according to your preference.
You can use a mandolin to create matchstick shapes or grate the cucumbers for a different texture.
Step 2: Combine Ingredients
In a bowl, combine the diced or sliced cucumbers with an equal amount of cottage cheese in a 1:1 ratio.
Adjust the amounts based on your taste and desired creaminess.
Step 3: Season the Salad
Season the cucumber and cottage cheese mixture with salt, pepper, and sage to taste.
Start with a little and adjust as needed for your flavor preference.
Step 4: Mix and Taste
Gently fold the ingredients together until well combined.
After mixing, taste the salad and make any necessary adjustments to the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or sage if desired.
Step 5: Serve and Garnish
For an appealing presentation, mold the salad into a cup shape on a plate.
To finish, garnish the top with additional matchstick cucumbers and optionally sprinkle with parsley for an attractive decoration.
