- 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese (2% or full-fat)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 medium cucumber, diced
- 1/2 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 tbsp everything bagel seasoning
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice

Tips:
- Add a jammy boiled egg or a handful of smoked salmon for even more protein — each egg adds about 6g.
- Make it spicy with a drizzle of sriracha or a pinch of chili flakes.
- Good cottage cheese makes all the difference: go for a brand with large, creamy curds and no added gums.
