Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the tomatoes

    Wash the fresh tomatoes under running water. Slice each tomato into quarters and remove the seeds if desired for a cleaner texture.

  2. 2

    Chop the basil

    Rinse the basil leaves and pat them dry. Stack the leaves, roll them up tightly, and slice them into thin strips (chiffonade).

Assembly Steps

  1. 3

    Combine ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, add the cottage cheese, sliced tomatoes, and chopped basil.

  2. 4

    Add seasonings

    Drizzle olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the mixture. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste.

  3. 5

    Mix well

    Gently fold all the ingredients together until well combined, ensuring the tomatoes and basil are evenly distributed throughout the cottage cheese.

Serving Steps

  1. 6

    Serve

    Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl or individual dishes. Garnish with additional basil leaves if desired, and serve chilled or at room temperature.
