Pre-Lunch
As my pre-lunch today (probably going to go out for Vietnamese for lunch) I really wanted to have a nice watermelon/feta salad. I have some leftover chunked watermelon from a party, and swung by the store this morning to get feta.
Bad idea, buying feta in a grocery store. I've had the shrink-wrapped monstrosities before, and it was either that or getting "pre-crumbled" tubs for $4 for 6oz. Eesh. At a local farm store, its $4 per pound (and its GOOD)!
So... didn't get any feta at all. I did, however, get a few tubs of my preferred snacking goop: cottage cheese. I wondered if adding more salt to it and then tossing it with the watermelon would work, or even be edible.
As it turns out, its edible, starting to verge on "not bad at all". Added a lot of sea salt & fresh ground pepper, and also a dollop of green goddess dressing (homemade). The combo tastes just fine together, although the texture needs something - I think the cottage cheese is a little squishy compared to feta. Overall, not a terribly disappointing experiment. And its low-cal, high protein to boot.
