Ingredients
  

1 cup cottage cheese (full fat or low fat, your choice)

4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped

2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

1 tbsp mayonnaise (optional, for creaminess)

1 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Lettuce leaves or whole grain bread, for serving

Instructions
 

In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and chopped hard-boiled eggs. Mix gently to incorporate the eggs without mashing them too much.

    Add in the fresh chives, Dijon mustard, and mayonnaise (if using). Stir until well combined.

      Sprinkle the onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the mixture. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste.

        Mix everything until the ingredients are well distributed and creamy. If the salad feels too thick, you can add a splash of water or extra cottage cheese to reach your desired consistency.

          Serve the cottage cheese egg salad on a bed of lettuce for a fresh option, or spread it generously on whole grain bread for a delicious sandwich.

            Enjoy your healthy and protein-packed meal!
