Step 1: Mash the Avocado : In a medium mixing bowl, combine avocado and mashed together until smooth. If you like, leave a couple of lumps for some texture.
Step 2: Place Cottage Cheese : Mix in the cottage cheese, making sure it is well incorporated with crushed avocado. The cottage cheese is there to give some creaminess and add more protein.
Step 3: Season : Squeeze the mixture with lemon juice to give it some brightness and keep avocados from browning. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Step 4: Optional Toppings : Top with some chopped chives, cilantro or red pepper flakes for flavour (optional). You may also like to include some colourful cherry tomato slices.
Step 5: Serve : Try this avocado cottage cheese the next time you need a creamy spread for toast, cracker topping or healthy snack.
