    I have always been a fan of cottage cheese but I find that I prefer to eat it with pears, strawberries, or fruit cocktail.

    Also wanted to mention that I do not like the taste of fat free cottage cheese and instead I buy 1%. Also have had bad luck with off brand stuff so I generally buy Land o Lakes. They have one that has extra protein in it as well.

    One of my family's favorite ways to eat cottage cheese is on a slice of toasted whole grain bread with thick slices of tomato (fresh from the garden) with freshly ground pepper.

    I love it with the foil packs of salmon, so good.

    I had cottage cheese mixed with tuna and avocado yesterday and it was delicious.

    I prefer the higher fat, creamier and more satisfying.

    ugh... I lost the taste for salmon. Actually made me mad that I did

    I add cocoa powder to mine. 1 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 tab cocoa powder (I like the dark cocoa), 1 tab stevia or sugar substitute equivalent. Stir till mixed. If the lumpy texture bothers you then put into blender, blend on low until smooth. I don't do this step.

    I have eaten cottage cheese with every fruit readily available and pineapple is by far the best fruit to mix with it.

    I love the taste but if you have a problem with it add Truvia and Strawberries (low glycemic index). also cinnamon. for a change try the Large Curd. It's also good with olives and pita.

    I was packing my lunch and I saw my feta and remembered my favorite way to eat cottage cheese.

    I mix a Tbsp of feta, a serving of sliced kalamata olives, and a tsp of Greek dressing into a half cup of cottage cheese. If you have sun dried tomatoes in olive oil in your fridge, add a very small amount, even some pepperoncini slices are good. I mix it together and let it sit a few minutes so the flavors blend.

    This came about because I was going to make a Greek salad, I put all my ingredients on the counter and when I went to get the romaine lettuce, it was rotten. I decided to mix it with cottage cheese.

    I eat this plain, with pita chips, with light triscuits, or in a salad with romaine and tomatoes.

    im a HUGE cottage cheese fan, but know not all cottage cheeses are the same. some are just so tangy and nasty, then you'll find the perfect one. personally, i think HORIZON is the BEST out there hands down. packed with such much protein, its a great snack. sometimes ill add cashews in it, but mostly i just eat it plain.
