Salad Recipes: My Southwestern Cottage Cheese Salad

Salad Recipes

 

This week guys I am making another of my salad recipes. The summer here in Las Vegas is gone and we are now into what it our fall. It's for this reason that I am making and end of summer salad. This week I am going to reinvigorate my last cottage cheese salad recipe and reinvent it into my Southwestern Cottage Salad.  In the summer I love salad recipes and a couple of weeks ago I made one of my Mom's cottage cheese salad recipes and just added a couple of additions to it and the response I got for it was amazing! One of my Youtube subs a fellow who calls himself the baldchef had made a comment about me taking something that was retro and breathing new life into it. I was very flattered to say the least.

Also in thinking about cottage cheese I can remember when cottage cheese was like one of the most popular diet foods around and I just don't think you hear much about it anymore as a diet food. It is high protein and low carbs and is still an excellent source of calcium and can be made into more than just salad recipes. So this salad I am doing this week is just another reinvention of a cottage cheese salad. This week my end of summer salad is going to be a cottage cheese salad with the flavors of the great Southwest. This should turn out to be one of my favorite cottage cheese salad recipes to date!

For this salad I am going to add the flavors of roasted corn and black beans as well as pinto beans and roasted and salted pepitas with some cumin and chili powder. Then I am going to add some garlic,  lime zest and cilantro and lime juice and to top it all off I will add some Hatch, NM chopped green chilies and freshly ground Guajillo chilies which are more sweet than hot! You can serve this salad in a bowl or on a plate but, when it comes to salad recipes like this one I am going to stuff it into Anaheim peppers and Pasilla peppers and then put some on top of toasted corn tortillas! If you love cooling, refreshing and crunchy salad recipes then I am convinced that you will enjoy this cottage cheese salad! Make it yours! Make it one of your favorite salad recipes! Enjoy the video!
