   lol Omg.. I totally was thinking it was like a chicken salad. The cottage cheese was the replacement for mayo. LOL….

   well you can make it like more of a chick salad by just adding cottage cheese without blending it. It was delicious. The cottage cheese and oil blend together to make a creamy sauce for the salad but you can also blend the chicken with the cottage cheese and oil to make a more creamy chicken salad …I did that for lunch today. I will post that recipe later. it was so good!! So many things to do with cottage cheese!

   I made this for lunch today. It was so delicious! I think next time I would grill the onions though because my stomach just doesn’t really like raw red onions.
   Thanks again Gina! Delish!

   Glad you liked it Erin! Great idea, I will have to try it with grilled onions! Nothing like grilled onions. It does take the certain individual to be able to stomach raw onions… Grilled always makes things better! 😉
   Glad you enjoyed the salad!! Amazing how the cottage cheese taste like cream! 🙂 Maybe even great on a Caesars Salad. We should try that one!

   Ooh, Gina, that does sound good! Maybe even with a little bit of lemon juice would give it that Caesars Salad tang. I was also thinking it would be really good with fresh basil or cilantro in it. Yum! I am a HUGE cilantro fan! Love it! 🙂

   So glad you are interested in modifying the recipe. It was delicious and I will have to try adding some lemon juice and maybe basil or cilantro. any of those always tend to add great flavor to any recipe!
   let me know if you try it before me. I have some cottage cheese left in my fridge so I may try it tomorrow or wednesday.
   LOVE IT!
