Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 1 cup red grapes, halved
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, pineapple chunks, halved grapes, and mixed berries. Gently fold the mixture to evenly distribute the fruits throughout the cottage cheese without crushing them.
- Add Honey: Drizzle 2 tablespoons of honey over the combined salad ingredients. Toss gently to coat the fruit and cottage cheese with the honey, enhancing the natural sweetness.
- Serve: Serve immediately for the freshest taste and texture. This salad is best enjoyed chilled but can be served at room temperature if preferred.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe fruits for the best flavor.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan option, but this recipe is not strictly vegan due to the cottage cheese.
- Optional: Add a sprinkle of chopped nuts for extra texture and nutrition.
- This salad should be consumed shortly after preparation to maintain freshness.
- Feel free to customize the berries based on seasonal availability.
