Seed Oil Free Gluten Free Tomato Basil Cottage Cheese Bowl
Bright cherry tomatoes, fragrant torn basil, and creamy full-fat cottage cheese come together in a bowl that feels like a summer caprese salad got a serious protein upgrade. The whole thing comes together in minutes with zero cooking required — just layer, drizzle, and season. What makes this work so well for anyone avoiding industrially processed oils is the simplicity of the ingredient list: extra-virgin olive oil is the only fat in play, so there's no canola, soybean, or sunflower oil hiding anywhere. A finishing drizzle of balsamic glaze and a pinch of flaky sea salt pull all the flavors into focus without any fuss. It's the kind of meal that looks impressive enough to serve to guests but honest enough to eat standing over the kitchen counter on a Tuesday. Whether you're eating it as a light lunch or a quick high-protein snack, this bowl delivers real, clean flavor with almost no effort at all.
