Is this about the salad recipe? Or was it more about the dressing recipe? One makes the other super tasty, and in fact you serve them together for the right effect. And just a picture of a bowl of sauce is not attractive, right? So be happy, I'll just give you a two in one recipe with this Green goddess cottage cheese dressing. This sauce has a long history and is usually made with mayonnaise. But I personally find that too fatty and also has far too many calories. To give you an idea: one tablespoon of mayo (20 grams) is already 133 kcal. Cottage cheese per 20 grams has only 20 kcal, that's quite a difference. Especially with a dressing where you unknowingly consume a lot of extra kcal. Sauce often makes your dish, but is also often a source of unexpected kcal.

The salad itself has only four main ingredients. Making it is really super simple. You can cut the broccoli very finely and you don't necessarily have to cook it, but I don't think the taste is that great. That's why I recommend blanching the vegetable briefly in boiling water and then letting it drain well in a sieve or small colander. You can choose chicken fillet, but also chicken thighs. The latter are a bit fattier, but if you grill them, a lot of that fat will melt away on your grill.
Step-by-step preparation of the recipe
Here you will find the complete recipe with all the ingredients you need. I hope you have fun preparing the salad below.

- Strip all the leaves from the sprigs of fresh herbs (tarragon, dill and parsley). Place these together with cottage cheese, quark, water and fresh pepper in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth, green dressing. Is the dressing too thick? Gradually add more water until desired consistency. Taste and season with extra pepper or a pinch of salt if necessary.

- Mix everything in a large bowl with the dressing and then it's a delicious bite!
Cottage cheese, I never used it before, but now it is an indispensable part of my kitchen. Super versatile and a good source of protein. I often use it in a dressing, sauce or baking. Check out the recipes below and get started:

I'm preparing to make this
tonight. Only I see shallot in the ingredients but not in the explanation. Am I supposed to bake it together with the chicken?
Hi! I will adjust the recipe! Chop the shallot and add it raw to the salad. Greetings Francine
