    I eat it plain as a before-bed snack. I use it on my salad as a dressing, because I don't use salad dressing.

    I learned to eat it on a baked potato - to replace the butter, sour cream, cheese... - now I love it in lots of ways - plain, with fruit, with crackers. Try it out. If you don't like it, don't eat it, there are other options!

    I love cottage cheese I eat it with sea salt pita chips or on top of fresh fruit. My favorite kind of cottage cheese is Kalona super natural organic (I can only get it from one store called the fresh market and it's 40 minutes from my house lol) But, I figure they probably have it at other health food stores.

    I hate cottage cheese but I use it in cauliflower. I mash it up like mashed potatoes - without the starch and butter!

    I like to cut up tomatoes and mix it in with a dash of olive oil. the oil gives it a nice taste.

    Yes, that. Or without the oil, but add some black pepper (fresh) leave it for about ten minutes and then on toast. Best low-fat salad alternative ever. Best is with cherry tomatoes.

    Never looked at the sodium, though, will have a look later.

    I absolutely love it and eat it plain, 1/2 c, as a part of my breakfast or a snack almost everyday. Not all cottage cheese is the same and I've found a store brand one that's only 100 mg of sodium per serving. Yes some do have almost 500 mg but not all, you have to shop around.

    I like mine with a ton of black pepper or with a couple tablespoons of salsa and of course pineapple...not all of those together though, yuck!

    I might have to try the sliced tomatoes (I put tomatoes on my bagel and cc, I feel like the acid cuts some of the fatty taste of the cheese)

    I LOVE Cottage cheese, plain, mixed with fruit, or mixed with yogurt. However my friend thinks the way I eat it is disgusting, she eats it on crackers with pepper and hot sauce.

    I'm very particular about the brand of cottage cheese I like. But when I do eat it I love it on a slice of toast and some fruit on the side! I grew up with that! It was almost a staple in our house for breakfast!

    Special sweet treat at night: on a no salt brown rice, rice cake, sprinkling of cinnamon and splenda...pretty tasty.

    I like chopping up sweet red peppers into small pieces and mixing it into cottage cheese, and having it with a baked potato and salad :)

    Try adding some chives for savory, or sweet chilli sauce if yr diet allows but try it natural first everyone's taste is different I like it but I will sometimes spice it up just for the excitement

    For breakfast I like it with a chopped apple and a sprinkle of cinnamon, or on an English muffin with a drizzle of honey. As a side or on a salad, I like to add a sprinkle of dry ranch seasoning. I also eat it plain!

    I can only eat Kroger brand small curd (lowfat). I have bought many many different brands and they always get pitched in the trash because they are gross. I've stopped ordering it at restaurants too for the same reason. I don't know what Kroger does to make theirs taste so good but I love it. Very creamy. I often eat it with diced tomatoes and a lot of pepper on it. For breakfast, I put a slice of tomato on a piece of wheat toast, top with 1/4 cup cottage cheese, and sprinkle with pepper.

    i eat 1/4 cup every morning as a snack - fat free small curd - sometimes with a small teaspoon of fruit jam for flavor
