This made a great light lunch! The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is that it absolutely needs a little fresh cracked sea salt fresh ground pepper and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to take it to the next level (which I added after I took the picture). I used low fat cottage cheese b/c I can't do the fat free and white basalmic vinegar instead of regular. I just eyeballed everything to taste. I could totally picture eating this w/ a few slices of toasted garlic crostini which I did not have today but will next time. I will be making this again! Thanks for sharing.:)
If you love cottage cheese like I do you will love this. I used a touch of white balsamic vinegar on the tomatoes and basil and then stirred in the cottage cheese which was nice. The regular balsamic would give the cottage cheese a muddy color - in which case I think I would not mix the tomatoes & basil into the cottage cheese but serve on top.
SO delicious!!! I don't even miss the Mozarella. For a slightly creamier texture with less "bite " low fat cottage cheese is great too. It's wonderful! Thank you. I will make this again and again.
I'm impressed. Love mozz caprese but don't love the calories involved with all that cheese. This is a great alternative. Lots of tomatoes and too much balsamic vinegar. I started eyeballing all the ing rather than measuring after I made this a few times- like 6 times in the last week! I like it heavy on the tomatoes with just a splash or 2 of the vinegar. Hubs even loves it! I have added cut up red onion which was a nice addition. Great way to use up all the fresh basil I have!
I used "lite" cottage cheese, not fat free. I did not measure my balsamic, I just drizzled a little over the top. Absolutely delicious. I almost licked the bowl. I seriously ate both servings.
I love this! I have been making this for years. A great breakfast food!
My hubby and I really liked this. The only change I made was to reduce the amount of balsamic vinegar by just a little. I did use coarse ground sea salt and coarse ground pepper also. Very Good!! Will definitely make again. Maybe tomorrow!!
Wow this actually super good! I love it. Was out of basil the first time I made it and still very good. Can't wait to try it again with basil. Will recommend to everyone!!
Quick easy nutritious and delicious! Hits the spot for a fast lunch!
Made this as directed. Had to throw it out! Didn't taste like caprese salad at all!
