What can you add to cottage cheese to make it a more rounded meal?

I enjoy cottage cheese, but I don't know what to add to it to make it a more rounded meal. I enjoy it by itself, but there must be something I can add to it. Help!

    I use it as a dressing/topping for any kind of salad - fruit or veggie, including cold roasted veggies. It can be pureed and used in ways that sour cream would be used, or ricotta. Sometimes I mix it with hot cooked veggies. (I like it warm fine, but don't usually like it if it has actually been heated in something, unless it's a baked thing like lasagna. Baked in layers with veggies instead of lasagna noodles is OK, especially if some eggs are mixed in with the cottage cheese so it sets up a bit rather than maybe getting runny.) I mostly eat it plain with maybe cherry tomatoes or something, alongside other side dishes, though.

    They once tried to give the kids at the headstart I work at cucumber and tomato's with cottage cheese. The kids revolted. There was no more cottage cheese with cucumbers and tomatos.

    I'm vegetarian but not vegan, so I use it as a salad topping mixed with a couple tablespoons of dressing. Same concept but I use it as a dip for a veggie tray mixed with some ranch dip. Sometimes I also add it to scrambled eggs before cooking.

    I make tortilla wrap with eggs and top with lots of cottage cheese. So good and high protein!
