1
Prep all low-glycemic ingredients: measure out the low-fat cottage cheese, Persian cucumbers, and cherry tomatoes using US or metric units.
2
If cooking on the stove or oven, preheat to 375°F (190°C) and lightly coat your pan with 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil.
3
Combine low-fat cottage cheese with cherry tomatoes and pumpkin seeds, cooking for 5 minutes until tender and aromatic (165°F / 74°C internal for poultry).
4
Fold in Persian cucumbers and everything bagel seasoning during the final 1 minutes to preserve nutrients, healthy fats, and crunch.
5
Plate immediately in balanced macros (half plate non-starchy greens, quarter lean protein, quarter slow-digesting fiber).
