Metric avoids regional spoon ambiguity. US uses 5 mL tsp, 15 mL tbsp and 240 mL cup. Small masses stay in grams unless a verified recipe conversion exists. More on measurements
200 g cottage cheese
200 g cherry tomatoes, halved
120 g cucumber, thickly sliced
25 g pitted olives, drained
30 g walnuts
2 small wholegrain pita breads (120 g)
20 ml extra-virgin olive oil (18 g)
10 ml lemon juice (10 g)
1 g dried oregano
Ground black pepper, to taste
Method
Toss the tomatoes and cucumber with the lemon juice, oregano and a good grind of pepper. Leave them to sit while you do everything else, so the tomatoes give up a little juice.
Warm the pita briefly in a dry pan or a hot oven until it is soft and pliable, then tear into pieces.
Spoon the cottage cheese onto two plates and make a shallow well in the middle of each.
Pile the dressed salad alongside, add the olives and pour the resting juices and the olive oil over the top. Scatter the walnuts over both plates.
Safety and storage
Keeps
3 days refrigerated below 5°C
Reheat to
steaming hot, at least 75°C
Cool it fast: split large amounts into shallow containers as soon as it stops steaming, and have it in the fridge within two hours. Reheat once only, until steaming hot right through, at least 75°C in the centre.
