Let’s talk about cottage cheese!

Good news! You can absolutely enjoy cottage cheese when following a low carb keto plan! I do recommend that you check nutritional labels as the carb count can vary depending on the brand you use and on the fat content. Typically, you’ll find the higher the fat content, the lower the carb count. I look for ½ cup serving to contain 3-4 net grams of carbs. You’ll also want to make sure you’re using plain cottage cheese as added ingredients aren’t needed and may increase the carb count quite a bit. Cottage cheese is a great source of protein and also contains some important nutrients and vitamins. It is amazing served just as it is, but it can also be used to make awesome salads such as this one. It also adds a rich and creamy element to dishes such as casseroles and even to scrambled eggs.

What other ingredients go into this tomato pimento cottage cheese salad?

Although cottage cheese is amazingly creamy, I added a little sour cream to this salad to make it even creamier and to add a nice tangy flavor. We then add chopped tomatoes and diced onions. You can use a Roma or vine ripened tomato for this salad. For the onion, I used a yellow onion, but you can use a red or white onion if you’d prefer. If you’ve never tried pimentos, you’re in for a real treat. They’re mild and sweet and add so much flavor to this salad. You will want to drain them well so your salad doesn’t turn out watery. For seasonings, we add dill, paprika, salt, and pepper. I used dried dill for my salad, but you can substitute with fresh if you’d like. If so, you’ll want to use 1 tablespoon of fresh dill in place of the 1 teaspoon of dried.

What are some ways I can serve this tomato pimento cottage cheese salad?

You have some great options for serving this salad. For a pretty presentation, you can sprinkle a little extra dill or some parsley on top. This salad can be served as a side salad for all kinds of meals. It’s a super choice for lunch, brunch, or dinner. You can serve this salad with all kinds of meat mains. It makes a great addition to grilled meats, burgers, keto sandwiches, and lettuce wraps. You can also serve it with pulled chicken, pulled pork, meatloaf, roasts, chicken and seafood mains, as well as with all kinds of keto casseroles. This salad also makes for a terrific and filling snack option. This is a fun and flavorful salad that also makes a great addition to barbecues, parties, and potlucks!
