Creamy Cottage Cheese and Cherry Tomato Spicy Delight

Ingredients

- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon spicy salt
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion granules
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Rinse the cherry tomatoes under cold water, then pat them dry with a clean towel. Slice each tomato in half and set aside.

2. Mix the Cottage Cheese:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese with olive oil. Stir gently using a spoon to blend the olive oil into the cottage cheese, creating a smooth and creamy base.

3. Flavor the Cheese:
- Add the spicy salt, red pepper flakes, dried parsley, kosher salt, onion powder, onion granules, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to the cottage cheese mixture. Stir well to incorporate all the spices evenly, ensuring every bite will be flavorful.

4. Combine with Tomatoes:
- Gently fold in the halved cherry tomatoes into the spiced cottage cheese. Be careful not to crush the tomatoes; you want to maintain their shape to lend texture to the snack.

5. Chill and Serve:
- If you prefer a cooler, more refreshing snack, place the mixture in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld further. Otherwise, it's ready to enjoy immediately!
