BHA & BHT Free Gluten Free Tomato Basil Cottage Cheese Bowl
Fresh, vibrant, and ready in minutes, this cottage cheese bowl is the kind of no-cook meal that earns a permanent spot in your weekly rotation. Juicy cherry tomatoes and fragrant torn basil sit on top of a creamy base of full-fat cottage cheese, finished with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and a pinch of flaky sea salt. The result is something that tastes far more indulgent than the ingredient list suggests. For anyone navigating BHA and BHT concerns, packaged and processed foods can feel like a minefield — but this bowl sidesteps all of that by leaning entirely on whole, minimally processed ingredients with nothing hidden in the fine print. The optional balsamic glaze and red pepper flakes let you dial the flavor up or down depending on your mood. It works beautifully as a light lunch, a high-protein snack, or even a quick breakfast when you want something savory and satisfying without turning on the stove.
