Ingredients
- 2 thick cut slices of sourdough bread
- 1 cup Persian or English cucumber, sliced
- 1 cup Real California Milk cottage cheese
- 1/3 cup Real California Milk Feta cheese
- 1/2 of 1 medium lemon, zested and juiced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill weed)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- salt and pepper
Instructions
Start by toasting your bread to your desired levels of toastiness.
While the bread toasts, combine the cottage cheese, lemon, 1 tablespoon olive oil, most of the dill (reserving some for garnish), the fresh lemon zest and juice, garlic, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Stir together.
Top the toasted bread with the cottage cheese tzatziki mix. Then sprinkle on the feta and top with cucumbers, remaining dill, a drizzle of olive oil and more salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
Notes
You can make the Cottage Cheese Tzatziki ahead and store in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. It will develop more flavor as it sits in the fridge.
Alternatively top with other veggies like fresh tomatoes, olives or greens.
