I bought cottage cheese at the grocery store the other day... I've never had it before but I've heard it's healthy and tasty. Is it supposed to be sweet, or savory? I was thinking of dipping carrots in it, but then I saw something about putting raisins and cinnamon in it?

How do you usually eat your cottage cheese? does it need anything added (salt, spices, sugar) or is it customarily enjoyed as is?

    Kind of a blank canvas really. I mix lots of things in depending on what I have laying around. Go to mix ins for me are yogurt, fresh fruit, or protein powder.

    Pineapple and Cottage cheese is by far the best way to have it... it's a blank canvas really... just adds texture

    I love to eat it with Quaker sea salt and black pepper rice cakes. It's like chips and dip to me. I hate cottage cheese plain or with fruit added, but love it with the rice cakes.

    I find cottage cheese pretty salty tasting, so I usually add something sweet to it, like cinnamon or honey.

    Cottage cheese and pepper is my favorite way too!

    Also I like it with sunflower seeds mixed in.

    It also works really well with sweet flavors, I think rich sweet flavors are best. Dark berries, dried cherries, etc.

    But it's very good as a veggie dip as well (especially bell peppers!)

    Yummy, I love cottage cheese! I'm kind of a purist--I like it plain the best. lol Otherwise, for something sweet, I like canned peaches added to it.
    I also like to put it on top of spaghetti sauce or chili-kind of a cool, creamy texture that adds to the tomato-y flavors.
    But like others have said, it's kind of a blank canvas.

    I like fresh pineapple or strawberries with a small amount of strawberry yogurt mixed in. I prefer it with sweet fruit in it. Lots of protein in cottage cheese! I had some for lunch as a matter of fact!

    I put very LITTLE sea salt in and just eat it like that.
    It's good with salad greens too!

    I eat it with black pepper and crushed red pepper. I like mine savory and obviously a little spicy :devil:
