I love mixing 1/2 c. cottage cheese with 1/4 c. salsa, 1/2 avocado, and 2 tbsp sunflower seeds. I've been experimenting with different salsas lately, and Trader Joe's Corn and Chile salsa is especially good. Sometimes I'll throw in some olives if they're handy. Yum!0

eat it straight up, will halve cherry tomatoes on top soooo yummy and light0
-
had it for breakfast this morning with tomato and black pepper. Sometimes I eat just it with a LOT of black pepper! It's great with pears also.0
-
My favorite way to use it, is as salad dressing! It's sooooooo YUMMMY! I also eat it by its self. I don't care for it with fruit though.0
-
I either put fresh pineapple or peaches on top or I mix it with apple butter and put it on whole wheat crackers. (My husband thinks its disguesting when I do this lol)0

Make some healthy "milkshakes" with it:

I've also made a lower calorie buffalo chicken dip with it because I love that stuff, I just put about equal amounts cottage cheese and shredded chicken and added Frank's Red Hot. I dipped celery and wheat thins in it, it was delicious!
Now that sounds really good! I am a sucker for anything buffalo chicken!0 -
I eat mine plain sometimes. I also like to mix fruit into it.....so yummy and you get the protein. Another thing is get regular lettuce and cut it up and then put cottage cheese on it and then put fresh sliced tomatoes on top with salt and pepper to taste....soo delicious0

I eat it plain, but my sweetie and I also like to make a cheese dip out of it for a special treat. I just warm it slowly and add a bit of 2% or fat free cheddar and a little homemade salsa. It's creamy and feels like cheating without as many calories as regular cheese dip.

Cottage cheese, a packet of Splenda and fresh fruit is my favorite.0

I make baked mac & cheese with it. It's a lighter & healthier version and I swear no one every knows and there is never any left overs.
I also, put it in pasta bakes...it melts nice & creamy.0 -
I use it instead of natural/greek yoghurt or soya milk :flowerforyou:0

TOPIC: what to do with cottage cheese?
Throw it away... that's not food ;-)0 -
I have a 3-step method:
1. Buy it because it's healthy
2. Put it in the back of the refrigerator because it's gross
3. Throw it out when it grows hair0 -
I eat it with peaches and strawberries. I make a breakfast of strawberries, walnuts, and cottage cheese.0

Any fruit will do, I usually eat mine with Apple sauce. Also have a recipe for deviled eggs that uses it. I also like it in salad.
Makes me want some NOW!0 -
Chop up half a cucumber. Mix with 1c cottage cheese. Add salt and pepper.
I usually eat it plain though, with a few dried figs.0 -
I have it on crackers and with an apple for lunch. Or (probably oddly) plain in a sandwich if I'm taking a packed lunch!
i've seen a lot of people really don't like the taste much but I really like it. Don't really feel the need to buy those ones with added ingredients like pineapple or chilli.
I was just glad to find something that I really liked that's also seen as healthy0 -
Sometimes I use it as a salad dressing and sprinkle a little paprika on it.
Sometimes I make it a breakfast by mixing 1/2 cup of cottage cheese with 1/2 T (real) maple syrup and a sprinkle of cinnamon.0 -
I always mix 1/2 cup of the fat free cottage cheese into my veggie smart pasta sause. Then add whole wheat pasta or pour it over grilled chicken breast.0

I LOVE it with cantaloupe :-)0

Drop spoonfuls of it out of the window...and watch the reactions of the people who thinks a bird just pooped on them.
