Ingredients
- cottage cheese (large curd preferred for texture)
- tomato (chopped into 1/2-inch pieces)
- chili crisp (I use Laoganma for authentic flavor)
- chickpeas (rinsed and drained, I like Bush’s)
- Lawry’s seasoning salt
- cucumber (Persian or English work best)
- kalamata olives (pitted and halved)
- 1/2 avocado
Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
Start by gathering your ingredients: cottage cheese, cucumber, tomato, chickpeas, Kalamata olives, and half an avocado.
Make sure everything is fresh for the best flavor.
Step 2: Prepare the Salad Ingredients
In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese, diced cucumber, chopped tomato, chickpeas, sliced Kalamata olives, and diced avocado.
Mix these ingredients gently to combine them evenly without mashing the avocado.
Step 3: Add Flavor Enhancements
Drizzle chili crisp over the top of the salad to give it a delicious kick.
Be moderate with the amount, based on your spice preference.
Next, sprinkle a little bit of salt (or Lowes) on top to enhance the overall flavor.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Your protein-packed, veggie-filled salad is now ready to be served!
Enjoy it as a light meal or a hearty snack.
Feel free to add any additional toppings or protein sources based on your preference.
