Ingredients:

1 cup lowfat cottage cheese
230g
1 avocado
200g
1 pinch red pepper (spice)
1.80g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Start by cutting the avocado in half. Carefully remove the pit and scoop out the flesh using a spoon. Transfer the avocado flesh to a bowl.
- Measure out 1 cup (230g) of low-fat cottage cheese and add it to the bowl with the avocado.
2. Mash the Avocado:
- Using a fork or a potato masher, gently mash the avocado until it reaches a consistency you prefer. It can be smooth or slightly chunky based on your liking.
3. Mix Together:
- Add the cottage cheese to the mashed avocado. Stir gently to combine the two ingredients, ensuring that they are well mixed but not overly blended. Aim for a creamy mixture with some texture remaining.
4. Add Spice:
- Sprinkle a pinch (1.8g) of red pepper spice over the mixture. Stir again to evenly distribute the spice throughout the avocado and cottage cheese mix.
5. Serve:
- Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl. Optionally, garnish with a few extra dashes of red pepper spice on top for an added visual appeal and a bit more heat.
6. Enjoy:
- Serve immediately as a dip with fresh vegetables, whole-grain crackers, or as a spread on toast. This dish is great as a nutritious snack or a light meal.

Tips:

- Choose a ripe avocado for the best texture and flavor. It should give slightly when gently squeezed.

- For a smoother texture, you can blend the cottage cheese and avocado together instead of mashing them.

- If you prefer more heat, feel free to increase the amount of red pepper spice according to your taste.

- To enhance the flavor, you can add a splash of lemon or lime juice to the mixture, which also helps to slow down the avocado browning.

- Balance the dish with additional toppings like chopped fresh herbs (e.g., cilantro or parsley), diced tomatoes, or a sprinkle of feta cheese.

Avocado cottage cheese with red pepper spice is a versatile and nutrient-dense dish that is easy to prepare and customize to your liking. By combining simple ingredients and following a few basic tips, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal in no time. Enjoy this dish as part of a balanced diet and feel free to experiment with additional flavors and toppings to make it your own.
