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:

Prepare the Flatbreads:
- Warm the low-carb flatbreads or pitas in a dry skillet or oven until slightly crispy, or follow package instructions.
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.
Assemble the Flatbreads:
- Spread the cottage cheese and feta mixture generously on each flatbread.
- Top with a handful of shredded romaine lettuce.
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.
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.
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.
