Mediterranean Salad with Whipped Walnut Feta Cottage Cheese Dressing – High Protein Low Carb
Mediterranean salad with whipped walnut feta cottage cheese dressing is a cold, crunchy chopped salad made with cucumber, cherry tomatoes, green bell pepper, red onion, and feta cheese, under a thick blended cottage cheese dressing. It is what I make when it is too hot to cook, and I still want something that fills me up. This is a no cook salad. It takes 10 minutes to make, no stove, nothing to stand over.

- Chop the cucumber, green bell pepper, and red onion into small, even pieces and add them to a bowl. Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them too.
- Chop the parsley and crumble the feta. Scatter the parsley and 4 tablespoons of the feta over the vegetables, and keep the other 4 tablespoons back for the dressing.
- Add everything for the dressing to a blender or food processor: the reserved feta cheese, cottage cheese, apple cider vinegar, walnuts, oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. Keep blending until the walnut flecks have disappeared. For a looser dressing, add a splash of water and blend again.
- Spoon the dressing over the salad, or serve it on the side so everyone adds their own.
Notes
- Makes 2 servings, about 2 cups each.
- Make ahead: the dressing keeps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and is better on day 2. The chopped vegetables keep a day or two undressed. Dress only what you are eating.
- Once the salad is dressed, eat it the same day.
- Make the dressing on its own: Whipped Feta Cottage Cheese Dressing with Walnuts.
- Serve with: chicken gyros, Mediterranean burgers or cottage cheese mug bread.
