Cottage Cheese Salad

Rate this post
My years of elementary school came shortly after the Czechoslovak Revolution in 1989. Therefore, there were many habits from socialism involved at schools. For instance, gym class used to be strictly divided into boys and girls with matching uniforms. The general classes were divided accordingly, as well.

Boys to become handy men and girls to become housewives. One of the duties of the housewives has always been baking and cooking. Then, I made my first cottage cheese salad. This is also the only recipe I still remember ever since – Cottage Cheese Salad, for me a real classic.

Cottage Cheese Salad is a homemade alternative to so-called “Cod Fish Salad”. The Cod Fish Salad has been one of the cheapest dishes to prepare, back then, during the socialistic era, and nowadays, too.

My Cottage Cheese Salad is a veggie version, ideal for an easy lunch or snack. Satisfying, humble and full of flavour. Enjoy!
