Gluten Free Tomato Basil Cottage Cheese Bowl
This bowl is proof that a genuinely satisfying meal doesn't need to be complicated or time-consuming. Full-fat cottage cheese forms a creamy, protein-packed base, while halved cherry tomatoes and torn fresh basil bring bright, summery flavor in every bite. A drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil ties it all together, and an optional touch of balsamic glaze adds a subtle sweetness that makes the whole thing feel a little fancy. One thing that trips people up with store-bought convenience foods is hidden gluten in dressings, sauces, and flavored dairy products — here, every ingredient is naturally free of wheat and grains, so there's nothing to second-guess. Flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper do the heavy lifting on seasoning, with optional red pepper flakes for anyone who likes a little heat. It comes together in minutes with zero cooking required, making it an ideal lunch or light dinner for two.
