Preparation Steps
- Wash all the fresh produce thoroughly under cool running water.
- Chop the cherry tomatoes in half, slice the cucumber into bite-sized half-moons, finely dice the red onion, and cut the bell pepper into even squares.
- Finely chop the fresh parsley, making sure the pieces are small enough to distribute evenly.
- Drain the cottage cheese using a fine mesh sieve to remove excess liquid.
- Combine the chopped cucumbers, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and Kalamata olives in a large mixing bowl.
- Fold in the cubed cottage cheese gently.
- Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar over the entire mixture.
- Sprinkle with dried oregano, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
- Toss the salad gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
- Chill the salad in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes
Serve with a slice of crusty bread if desired. For deeper flavors, prepare a few hours in advance but add cottage cheese just before serving.
