Pomegranate Seeds and Cottage Cheese

Servings: 2

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat as preferred)
• 1/2 cup fresh pomegranate seeds (from about half a medium-sized pomegranate)
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
• A pinch of ground cinnamon or cardamom
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint or basil
• 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, or pistachios work best)

Instructions

1. Prep the Pomegranate: Carefully slice the pomegranate in half. Over a bowl, hold the pomegranate half, seed side down. Tap the skin with a wooden spoon until all the seeds fall into the bowl. Repeat with the other half if more seeds are desired.
2. Assemble the Delight: In serving bowls or glasses, layer the cottage cheese, followed by the pomegranate seeds.
3. Drizzle and Season: If you're using a sweetener, drizzle honey or maple syrup over the top. Sprinkle with a pinch of ground cinnamon or cardamom for added flavor.
4. Garnish: Top with the chopped fresh mint or basil and a generous sprinkle of chopped nuts.
5. Serve: This dish can be served immediately, or you can refrigerate it for about an hour to let the flavors meld a bit more. Enjoy as a refreshing breakfast, a light lunch, or a protein-packed snack!
