A refreshing and flavorful salad combining creamy cottage cheese with crisp cucumbers and aromatic herbs.
Peel the cucumber and slice it lengthwise into halves.
Use a vegetable peeler for even peeling and to avoid waste.
Scoop out the seeds from the cucumber halves and chop them into small pieces.
Removing the seeds prevents the salad from becoming watery.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, chopped cucumber, dill, and green onion.
Mix gently to keep the cucumber pieces intact.
Season the mixture with black pepper and a few dashes of hot sauce to taste.
Taste as you season to achieve the desired flavor balance.
Serve the salad immediately or chill it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving.
Chilling enhances the flavors and makes the salad more refreshing.
