aIf you Google farmer's salad you'll find a large number of recipes that seem to have nothing in common. Apparently there is a version of farmer's salad for every region, country or culture. This version is the one my mother used to make and is very similar to the one served at the local Jewish deli. A good choice for a meatless meal. It's healthy, low fat, super easy to make and yummy. Great on a hot day.
Ingredients:
1 quart cottage cheese
1 pint sour cream
1 large cucumber
1 bunch red radishes
1 bunch green onions
salt
pepper
Preparation:
Chop cucumber (peeled or not) into small, evenly sized chunks. Chop cleaned radishes into small, evenly sized chunks. Chop green onions in small, evenly sized pieces. Mix chopped cucumber, radishes and green onions together.
That's it
Serve cottage cheese, sour cream and vegetables in separate bowls for family style dining. Allow diners to help themselves and season to their liking with salt and pepper.
Serves approximately 6 hearty eaters.
How do I like mine?
Cucumbers partially peeled. A generous portion of cottage cheese, lots of vegetables and a dollop of sour cream with a touch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. If I'm really hungry I might have a few woven wheat crackers on the side.
