KAREN'S NO-FAT SHRIMP & COTTAGE
CHEESE SALAD
 
1 small carton fat free or low fat cottage cheese
1 small can of tiny or broken shrimp (rinsed & drained)
1 large rib of celery chopped
1 green onion chopped fine
1 small tomato chopped
(see below for more options)

Mix all the above and add salt and pepper to taste.

OPTIONAL - If I have them I also add any of the following: chopped cucumber, zucchini, red radishes, green and/or red pepper, chopped mushroom or finely chopped cabbage. I don't use carrot because I think it "fights" with the shrimp flavor, but if you love it go right ahead.

Note: I find a 1/2 cup to 1 cup serving of this for lunch really fills me up and it's healthy too!

Karen, this is fabulous! I added the chopped cucumber -- nothing else among your "optional" list. This made a wonderful, light, healthful summer dinner! (I just increased the ingredients for two people.)

I made this and won first place in a contest at work! I added a tablespoon of Siracha hot sauce and it was perfect!
