Greek Salad Cottage Cheese Flatbreads

These Greek Salad Cottage Cheese Flatbreads are a quick and fresh meal that combines the creamy goodness of cottage cheese and feta with the crispness of a Greek salad. Topped with lean grilled chicken, this dish is both satisfying and nutritious, and it can be whipped up in just 15 minutes.

Ingredients:

  • Low-carb flatbreads or pitas (or whole wheat for a healthier option)

  • Blended cottage cheese (ricotta-style) for creaminess

  • Crumbled feta cheese for tang and richness

  • Cooked chicken breast (optional, for extra protein)

  • Romaine lettuce, shredded

  • Cherry tomatoes, halved

  • Cucumber, diced

  • Red onion, thinly sliced (optional)

  • Olives (optional, for extra flavor)

  • Olive oil, for drizzling

  • Dried oregano, for garnish

  • Lemon juice (optional, for extra zing)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Flatbreads:

    • Warm the low-carb flatbreads or pitas in a dry skillet or oven until slightly crispy, or follow package instructions.

  2. Make the Cottage Cheese Spread:

    • Blend the cottage cheese to a smooth consistency, similar to ricotta. You can add a little water or olive oil if needed to get the right texture. Mix the crumbled feta into the blended cottage cheese to create a creamy, tangy spread.

  3. Assemble the Flatbreads:

    • Spread the cottage cheese and feta mixture generously on each flatbread.

    • Top with a handful of shredded romaine lettuce.

  4. Add the Salad Ingredients:

    • Layer the flatbreads with sliced cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and red onions (if using).

    • Add the grilled chicken breast (if desired) for extra protein.

  5. Finish and Serve:

    • Drizzle the flatbreads with a little olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice.

    • Garnish with some olives and sprinkle with dried oregano for a traditional Greek touch.

  6. Serve:

    • Slice the flatbreads into wedges and serve immediately as a light lunch or dinner.

Notes:

  • Low-Carb Option: For a low-carb meal, use low-carb flatbreads or pitas. You can also use lettuce wraps instead of flatbreads for a completely low-carb option.

  • Protein: Adding grilled chicken breast or even grilled lamb will provide an extra protein boost.

  • Customize the Toppings: Feel free to add more veggies, such as bell peppers or red onions, for extra crunch and flavor.

Tips:

  • Creaminess: If you prefer a smoother texture, you can use ricotta cheese instead of cottage cheese.

  • Grilled Chicken: To make the grilled chicken, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and some dried herbs (such as oregano or thyme) before grilling.

  • Make Ahead: You can prepare the cottage cheese mixture and salad ingredients ahead of time for quick assembly when ready to serve.
