  Exchange the creamy cucumber salad dressing for real cucumbers and then you are really set for a healthy snack that will keep in the fridge! - 7/20/09

  Why dressing? chopped cucumber is crunchier and I dn't use salad dressing except for vinegar/olive oil. - 7/20/09

  I've been making a version of this for years. I just mix in tomatoes (minus the seeds), and any crunchy veggies in the fridge. I can see the dressing working. If you aren't getting enough fat in your diet, that would be a way to get some in. I've never used it but might try it sometime. - 7/21/09

  How very versitile! Never thought of eating it this way! will eliminate the dressing and use the veggies instead. BTW, have others eaten FF cottage cheese w/splenda & cinnamon as a dessert? Yum! - 7/20/09

  CC is a great source of protein. However, it is acidic to the blood stream (the problem with mixing w/fruit - it turns to sugar!). Balance the acidity with alkalizing veggies (tomatoes, cucumbers,etc.) for a great breakfast! Energizing, you won't crash from the carbs... Add avo for the good fats! - 12/4/09

  I love cucumbers.....A great low calorie fill you up kind of snack or with you meal. I sometimes only season them with greek seasoning and a touch of splenda. Sometimes I use low fat yogurt as the dressing with onions as well. Versatile in so many ways. - 7/20/09

  This sounds like a nice change of pace. I never eat peppers --they make my mouth break out -- but the idea of crunch veggies is nice.
  I usually add either crushed pineapple or sliced canned peaches to my cottage cheese. - 7/20/09

  My dad makes something like this with horseradish -- very zippy! Delicious on its own or scoop with crackers. Not sure how it would taste with cucumber though. - 8/7/12

  This is a wonderful idea. I used diced cucumbers, a radish, one green onion stem, and a dash or two of Italian seasoning rather than dressing. If'd I'd had a tomato, that would have made it even better. Very satisfying. - 6/3/10

  This recipe reminds me of Basque Cottage Cheese. I'm not sure what goes in it besides green onion and Italian Dressing, but it is delicious. Does anyone have a good recipe for Basque Cottage Cheese? Meanwhile, I will try this one. It sounds delicious. - 4/14/10

  I LOVE cottage cheese! I usually eat my cottage cheese with fruit. I took advice of some of the readers and just added cucumbers & some other fresh veggies and skipped the dressing all together. This way I saved on some calories and enjoyed this salad for lunch. - 1/16/10

  Used it as a side dish to a Stewed Tomato chicken and rice dish. Definitely a contrast in textures and flavors. I was worried about how it would work, but it was a light mix when put on the same plate with the chicken. - 12/10/09

  Sounds great! Though I agree that using fresh cucumbers would make it even healthier. I quite often eat sliced cucumbers with a dollop of cottage cheese on top of each slice. - 12/5/09

  I am definitely going to try this. I think I may take a cucumber, slice it lengthwise and scoop out the center. I'll chop up the center and mix it with the CC etc, then I will stuff it all back into the cucumber. LIke a stuffed cucumber. Always trying to get in more veggies.... - 12/5/09
