Scale
Ingredients
- ½ cup Cottage Cheese
- 4 slices Bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup Romaine Lettuce, chopped
- ½ cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved
- ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic Glaze
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Cook the bacon until it’s crispy, then crumble it into small pieces. While that’s sizzling, chop the romaine lettuce and halve the cherry tomatoes for fresh, vibrant flavors.
- Assemble Bowl: Grab a serving bowl and layer it with the creamy cottage cheese as the base. Sprinkle the crispy crumbled bacon evenly across the top, ensuring that every bite will have that delicious crunch.
- Add Fresh Veggies: Now, layer the chopped romaine lettuce and halved cherry tomatoes over the bacon. The colors should pop, making this bowl visually delightful and wholesome.
- Season and Dress: Sprinkle freshly ground black pepper on top for just the right kick of flavor. Finish by drizzling the balsamic glaze over everything, adding a touch of sweetness and acidity that ties the dish together beautifully.
- Final Toss: Gently toss all components together, making sure the ingredients mingle without mashing textures. Serve immediately to enjoy the best contrast and freshness in each bite.
Notes
- Use thick-cut bacon for extra crunch and flavor.
- For a lower sodium option, choose low-sodium cottage cheese and reduced-salt bacon.
- Balsamic glaze can be substituted with balsamic vinegar, but glaze provides a thicker texture and sweeter balance.
- To keep the bowl low carb, avoid adding any croutons or bread.
- Serve immediately after assembling to maintain the crispness of the bacon and lettuce.
