     this was pretty good i added some dried dill seasoning, and put in between toast and it had a whopping 24 grams of protein for only 228 cals !! very filling and nutritious! highly recommend trying this! - 4/30/09

     I really enjoyed this filling delight! Being a big fan of egg salad I was a bit wary, but wow! I didn't miss the mayo at all and even used non-fat cottage cheese. Adding a pinch of dill gives it a pickle-ish zip. How cool that you can season this however you want-without caloric penalty!! - 5/10/10

     I made this the other day, and there is something about the consistency and blend of tastes that isn't quite right. I did make it to eat on its own, not in a sandwich. I might try it again in a sandwich or wrap to see if it's better that way. - 11/19/08

    Did u use 1% cottage cheese? If you use fat free the texture will not be good like egg salad.

     Just made this today, it is delish! I dont always like egg salad because I'm not a big mayo fan. The recipe is very good, hard to tell that there is cottage cheese in there. I will be making it again. - 1/23/11
