Tomato & Cottage Cheese

Here is a delicious and healthy dish that is quick to put together because there is no cooking! I used fresh basil to garnish, but dried basil or oregano will also work. The fresh basil is incredibly aromatic and is a natural pairing with the tomatoes.

 5 oz Fresh tomatoes1 cup weighs 5 oz.
 4 oz Cottage CheeseLow fat and low sodium
 4 Leaves of fresh basil
 Morton's Lite Salt
 Ground Pepper
1

Half 2 small tomatoes down the center and scoop out the inside. Total weight of the tomatoes after scooping should be 5oz per serving.

2

Place 4oz. of cottage cheese in a bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste.

3

Carefully fill the tomatoes with two spoons until you use up all of the cottage cheese.

4

Place the basil leaves on top of one another and roll into a tube shape. Carefully start to slice at one end and work your way to the other end. We are looking for thin ribbons.

5

Sprinkle the basil ribbons over the stuffed tomatoes.
