What’s In This Cucumber and Mint Salad with Tomatoes?

See the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!

• Cottage Cheese – I like getting a low-fat cottage cheese for this salad, but you can use any variety you prefer (fat-free, whole milk, etc). Cottage cheese is high in protein and low in carbohydrates.
• Tomatoes – I used cherry tomatoes, but you can use any variety you have on hand. If you’re making this in the winter or when tomatoes aren’t in season, I’d recommend using cherry tomatoes, which are usually sweeter.
• Cucumber – I used English cucumber for this salad.
• Parsley
• Red Wine Vinegar: I used red wine vinegar to give this dish a really nice bright Mediterranean flavor – for that, this red wine vinegar is my go-to!
• Oregano: a spice I always put in my salad dressings, marinades, or soups! Dried oregano has a bright and earthy flavor, and goes so well with the vegetables.
• Garlic Powder: Also a major pantry staple ingredient that gets used in our house daily! I love this garlic powder and add it to a lot of recipes that I would use fresh garlic in too.

How Do I Make This Low Carb/Keto Cottage Cheese Salad?

1. In a large bowl, add the chopped tomatoes, cucumber, and mint leaves.
2. Add the red wine vinegar, olive oil, sugar, oregano, and garlic salt. Toss well to combine.
3. Refrigerate salad for at least 1 hour. Toss well again before serving.
