It feels like a salad… it tastes like a salad… but without the lettuce!

This refreshing, protein-packed bowl is perfect for when you want something quick, satisfying, and full of flavor when you’re salad-ed out or ready for a change.

Creamy cottage cheese pairs with chickpeas, crisp veggies, and tangy feta for a Mediterranean-inspired meal that’s as nourishing as it is delicious.

  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp olive oil

Notes

  • Meal Prep: Chop the cucumber, onion, and tomatoes ahead of time and store in the fridge for 2–3 days. When ready to eat, just mix with chickpeas and cottage cheese, then top as directed. If you’d like to just put it all into a container for prep you can, however veggies may lose their crisp-ness.
  • Swap for Variety: Use white beans or lentils instead of chickpeas for a similar nutrition profile. Try Greek yogurt in place of cottage cheese for a creamier texture while keeping protein high. Swap parsley for fresh dill or basil for a different flavor twist.
