My new favorite high protein snack avocado, cucumber, cilantro, squeezed lemon, onion, salt, pepper and topped with cottage cheese! So good!
Ingredients
1 ripe avocado, diced
1/2 cucumber, diced
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped (optional, for a bit of crunch and flavor)
1/2 lemon, juiced
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat, depending on preference)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the base
In a bowl, combine the diced avocado, cucumber, chopped onion, and cilantro.
Step 2: Add flavor
Squeeze the lemon juice over the mixture. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, and toss everything together gently to avoid mashing the avocado.
Step 3: Top with cottage cheese
Scoop the mixture into a serving dish or keep it in the same bowl. Add the cottage cheese on top or gently fold it into the mixture.
Step 4: Serve
Serve immediately as a high-protein snack or light meal. You can enjoy it on its own or pair it with whole-grain crackers or toast for extra crunch.
Tips
Add some heat: Sprinkle red chili flakes for a spicy kick.
Boost the protein: Add a boiled egg, chopped, for even more protein.
Extra crunch: Top with toasted sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds.
This snack is perfect for a midday energy boost or post-workout recovery. Enjoy! 🥑🥒💚
