Description

Cottage Cheese and Fruit Salad recipe and steps


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat based on preference)
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
  • 1 cup red grapes, halved (seedless for better texture)
  • 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

  • Wash all fresh fruits thoroughly under cold running water.
  • Pat them dry with a clean towel or let them air dry to prevent excess moisture in the salad.

Step 2: Slice and Chop the Fruits

  • If using strawberries, remove the green stems and slice them into halves or quarters.
  • Cut grapes into halves for easy mixing and eating.
  • If pineapple is fresh, cut it into small bite-sized chunks. If using canned pineapple, make sure to drain the excess juice to prevent the salad from becoming watery.

Step 3: Mix the Cottage Cheese and Fruits

  • In a large mixing bowl, add 2 cups of cottage cheese as the base.
  • Gently add the pineapple chunks, grapes, and mixed berries into the bowl.
  • Use a spatula or a spoon to lightly toss the ingredients together, ensuring even distribution of the fruit with the cottage cheese.

Step 4: Drizzle with Honey

  • Drizzle 2 tablespoons of honey over the mixture.
  • If you prefer a different sweetener, you can use maple syrup, agave nectar, or a few drops of vanilla extract.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

  • Serve immediately in individual bowls for a fresh and creamy experience.
  • Garnish with mint leaves, chia seeds, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
  • For a chilled version, refrigerate for 10–15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • This dish is best served fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
  • If preparing in advance, add fruits like apples or bananas just before serving to prevent browning.
  • To enhance the texture, consider adding crunchy elements like chopped almonds, walnuts, or granola.
