8 minute cottage cheesesalad
You can make this salad in the time it takes the pasta to boil. I make this a lot when I'm working from home.
Servings: 1 portion
Ingredients:
Salad greens (I often use ready-made salad bags, including shredded veggies)
Cucumber
Tomato (or other seasonal vegetables)
About 200 g cottage cheese (I prefer the creamy kind for salads)
About 100 ml (about ⅓–½ cup) Rummo whole grain fusilli (or substitute with potatoes or quinoa)
A handful of mixed salad nuts or other nuts for topping
Olive oil and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions:
Boil the pasta in salted water.
While the pasta cooks, prepare the salad.
Once the pasta has cooled down (either by rinsing with water or chilling in the fridge), add it on top of the salad. Season with olive oil and black pepper!
Pro tip: If you finish making the salad before the pasta is ready, use the time to wipe down the kitchen counters or load the dishwasher!
