Cottage Cheese Egg Salad / High Protein

This little dish can be substituted for potato salad. You can jazz it up by adding some toasted sesame seeds, chopped chives and gherkins. You can eat it with rye crackers or wrap it in lettuce leaves or nori sheets. If you wrap it in nori sheets you can add some grated carrot before rolling... just use your imagination ! :))

Yield: Makes 2 servings  

Ingredients

• 2 hard boiled eggs, coarsely chopped
  
• 3/4 cup cottage cheese*
  
• 1 teaspoon golden mustard
  
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon dried dill
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes
*A thicker cottage cheese works best here. If yours contains more liquid, let it drain in a fine sieve before mixing.
