• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• Juice of ½ lemon
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1-2 tablespoons olive oil

» For the Fresh Salad Topping

• 250 grams cherry tomatoes, quartered
• ½ cucumber, diced
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• A handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
• Juice of ½ lemon
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
• Salt, to taste

» For Serving

• 1 baguette, sliced diagonally
• Olive oil, for toasting

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

» Make the Whipped Cottage Cheese Base

1. Add the cottage cheese, garlic cloves, feta, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, olive oil, black pepper, and oregano to a blender.
2. Blend until completely smooth, thick, and creamy. Scrape down the sides if needed, and blend again until no graininess remains.

» Prepare the Fresh Salad Topping

1. Quarter the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, thinly slice the red onion, and chop the cilantro.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and cilantro.
3. Add the lemon juice, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and salt.
4. Mix well until everything is evenly coated. Let the mixture rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to develop and the tomatoes to release a little juice.

» Toast the Baguette

1. Slice the baguette diagonally and lightly brush each slice with olive oil.
2. Toast in a pan over medium heat until golden and crisp on both sides.

» Assemble and Serve

1. Spoon the whipped dip onto a shallow serving plate or bowl and spread it into an even layer using the back of a spoon.
2. Spoon the marinated salad topping evenly over the whipped cottage cheese base.
3. Drizzle chili oil over the top and sprinkle with chopped toasted pistachios.
4. Serve immediately with warm toasted baguette slices.

RECIPE NOTES

1. Taste and adjust salt or lemon before serving.
2. Refrigerate the base for 20 to 30 minutes for a firmer texture.
3. If too thick, add 1 teaspoon olive oil, milk, or water and blend again.
