Ingredients
  

1 cup of cottage cheese (preferably low-fat)

1 large cucumber, diced

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup of fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dry dill)

1/4 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved

1 tablespoon of olive oil

1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, toasted pumpkin seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and diced cucumber.

    Add the finely chopped red onion, fresh dill, and halved cherry tomatoes to the bowl.

      Drizzle the olive oil and apple cider vinegar over the ingredients and gently toss to mix everything together.

        Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. If using, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for an extra zing.

          Allow the salad to sit in the fridge for at least 15-20 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

            Before serving, give it a gentle stir and sprinkle toasted pumpkin seeds on top for added texture and nutty flavor, if desired.
