Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
First, rinse all the vegetables and peeled onions under running water. Wash the lettuce leaves and greens and then dry them with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Drain the brine from the olives. Cut the sheets randomly into not very small pieces. Place in a deep salad bowl.

Step 2

Step 2
Cut the cherry tomatoes into four parts; if you have small tomatoes, you can leave them whole or cut each one in half. You can also use regular tomatoes in the salad; take ripe and juicy fruits, so the salad will turn out tastier and richer.

Step 3

Step 3
Cut the young cucumbers into slices or slices, as you prefer. Send to sheets and tomatoes.

Step 4

Step 4
Chop the red onion into rings or half rings and add to the salad. Use shallots or white salad onions if desired.

Step 5

Step 5
Next comes the turn of olives and cottage cheese. Send them to all components.

Step 6

Step 6
At the end of cooking, sprinkle the finished salad with finely chopped herbs. I usually use dill and parsley in salads. If there is fresh basil or oregano in the garden, I add them too. These herbs go well with olives and cottage cheese.

Step 7

Step 7
Drizzle oil and pepper the salad to taste. Squeeze lemon juice on top.

Step 8

Step 8
Stir the salad and taste for salt, add salt if necessary. I get enough salt from the olives and cottage cheese, plus the acid from the lemon completes the taste. Serve the salad!
