1 tablespoon fresh chives or green onions, chopped
1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
A pinch of sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables: Wash all your fresh produce thoroughly. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, dice the cucumber, and thinly slice the radishes and red onion. Having everything chopped and ready makes the assembly process very quick.
Step 2: Scoop the Base: Place one cup of your favorite cottage cheese into the center of a shallow bowl. Use the back of a spoon to create a small well in the middle or some it out into an even layer to provide a sturdy base for your toppings.
Step 3: Layer the Toppings: Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumbers, sliced radishes, and red onion on top of the cottage cheese. Place the sliced avocado on one side of the bowl. Keeping the ingredients in separate sections makes for a beautiful presentation.
Step 4: Garnish and Season: Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the entire bowl. Sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning, fresh chives, salt, and black pepper over the top. The seasoning is key to bringing all the savory flavors together.
