Ingredients

Tap an ingredient to tick it off. Doubling changes the amounts, not the nutrition panel — that stays per serving.

Method

  1. Blend the cottage cheese with the herbs, garlic, vinegar, oil and pepper for a full minute, until smooth and pale green.
  2. Shred the cabbage as finely as your knife allows and chop the cucumber and spring onions small.
  3. Toss everything in the dressing until every shred is coated, and scatter the toasted pumpkin seeds over.
Chef’s tipBlend the dressing until it is properly smooth, a full minute. Cottage cheese left grainy tastes like cottage cheese; blended it tastes like a green ranch and nobody guesses what is in it.
KeepKeeps 3 days chilled. Eat cold, straight from the fridge. Scatter the seeds at the table so they stay crisp. Does not freeze; raw throughout.
SwapNo cottage cheese? Greek yogurt, with an extra spoon of vinegar.
Pack itDressing in a jar, chopped vegetables in the box. Shake them together at the desk.
