Ingredients
  

2 cups of cottage cheese (preferably low-fat)

1 cup of strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 cup of pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)

1 medium banana, sliced

1 cup of blueberries

1/4 cup of honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon (optional)

1/4 cup of chopped walnuts or almonds (optional)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

    Gently fold in the strawberries, pineapple, banana, and blueberries. Be careful not to mash the fruit; you want to keep them intact for texture and presentation.

      If using, add the chopped walnuts or almonds for an added crunch. Mix gently to combine.

        Let the salad sit in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill.

          Serve the salad in individual bowls or on a large serving platter, garnishing each portion with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color.

            Enjoy your refreshing Cottage Cheese & Fruit Paradise Salad as a nutritious breakfast, snack, or dessert!
