Fig & walnut cottage cheese bowl FAQ:
The Fig & Walnut Cottage Cheese Bowl can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. It’s best to consume it fresh to enjoy the texture of the figs and walnuts.
Yes, you can substitute cottage cheese with Greek yogurt or ricotta cheese for a different flavor and texture. Keep in mind that this may alter the overall taste of the dish.
You can substitute walnuts with other nuts such as almonds, pecans, or pistachios. Each will offer a unique crunch and flavor to the bowl.
Ripe figs should feel soft to the touch, have a slightly wrinkled skin, and may give off a sweet aroma. Avoid figs that are too firm or have blemishes.
While you can prep the ingredients (wash and chop the figs and nuts) in advance, it’s best to mix them with cottage cheese right before serving to maintain freshness and texture.
Cooking Tips:

- Feel free to add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if you like your bowl a bit sweeter.
- For added flavor, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg on top.
