Kinga Paruzel's twist: Pickles elevate cottage cheese breakfast

I found the inspiration for this salad on Instagram from Kinga Paruzel. She is a master of simple and quick dishes. This time, she suggested an ingredient that may surprise you for the cottage cheese we love eating in the morning. Try it because this combination is delicious and adds vigour to the salad.

Cottage cheese for breakfast? In spring and summer, we can eat it almost every day because excellent additions appear for lovers of savoury and sweet dishes to start the day. Of course, we are talking about seasonal vegetables and fruits.

Cottage cheese, or white cheese, is among the best breakfast choices. Nutritionists confirm this because it's a great source of protein. The selection of cottage cheeses in stores is enormous. We can choose a classic cottage, homogenized, or farmer's cheese when shopping. It was the latter that Kinga Paruzel used. It's worth keeping in the fridge, as it's great for a quick snack or dinner. Of course, it can be replaced with classic cottage cheese mixed with natural yogurt.

When preparing savoury cottage cheese, we usually add radishes and chives. It tastes great like that. Finely chopped tomatoes and cucumbers are added to the mix in a more decadent version. And it was the latter ingredient that Kinga Paruzel decided to replace or just swap. Instead of fresh cucumbers, she chose pickled ones. On her Instagram profile, she wrote:

"For many of you, the combination of ingredients may be surprising. You must trust me – only this combination tastes phenomenal. Don’t be afraid of the combination of pickles with cottage cheese – they bring that "something".

I agree with Kinga. Pickles add a sour taste to this well-known breakfast salad, refreshing it. It’s also worth trying this way for the sake of your intestines. Fermented foods facilitate digestion, help absorb nutrients, and support immunity. It’s good to include them in your morning menu.
