Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the radishes thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt.
- Slice the radishes thinly into rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.
- In a medium bowl, add the cottage cheese.
- Season the cottage cheese with a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper. Stir thoroughly to distribute the seasoning evenly.
- Add the sliced radishes to the bowl with the seasoned cottage cheese.
- Gently fold the radishes into the cottage cheese until they are well incorporated.
- Transfer the salad to a serving dish if desired.
- Optionally, garnish with a few extra radish slices or a sprinkle of black pepper for a decorative touch.
- Serve immediately or chill for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Tips:
- Ensure the radishes are fresh for maximum flavor and crispness. Look for firm, brightly colored radishes without any soft spots.
- If you prefer a finer texture, you can grate the radishes instead of slicing them.
- To add more flavor and a bit of color, you can mix in fresh herbs like dill, chives, or parsley.
- For a more substantial salad, consider adding other fresh vegetables like cucumbers or cherry tomatoes.
- If you like a bit of acidity, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice can elevate the flavors.
- Allow the salad to sit for a few minutes before serving, so the flavors meld together.
- Serve the salad chilled for the best taste experience.
