This is like my Dad's fruit salad only with vegetables. My brother and I loved the fruit salad so much that we also ate our vegetables cause Dad said it was the same. It's not, but just as good! I added the orange pepper. Ingredients:
24 ounces low fat cottage cheese (large curd) |
4 tablespoons low-fat sour cream (*) |
2 medium cucumbers (seeded, large dice) or 1 large cucumber (seeded, large dice) |
3 green onions, small dice (white and green parts) |
2 beefsteak tomatoes, seeded, large dice |
1/2 red pepper, seeded, large dice |
1/2 yellow pepper, seeded, large dice |
1/2 orange bell pepper, seeded, large dice |
4 red radishes, medium to large size, thinly sliced |
1 carrot, large, scrubbed and shredded |
10 pitted black olives, large, halved |
1 cup frozen peas, defrosted |
1/2 red onion, small dice |
2 teaspoons garlic powder |
1/4 teaspoon sea salt |
fresh ground pepper (to taste) |
fresh parsley, chopped |
Directions:
1. *may add more for lighter consistency.
2. * can use plain yogurt but taste will be different.
3. Combine everything but parsley, gently, in large bowl.
4. Chill 1/2 hours.
5. Serve with topping of parsley.
