    Here are more than 10 easy, high-protein cottage cheese salads that are creamy, flavorful, and perfect for a healthy lunch, snack, or side dish!

    Images of healthy cottage cheese salads including ambrosia Jell-o salad, broccoli salad, watermelon salad and egg salad.

    You don’t have to love cottage cheese to enjoy these salads! They’re creamy, flavorful, and anything but bland. From Jell-O ambrosia to crispy smashed cucumbers and lighter chicken salad, each one is sure to please.

    Cottage cheese adds a savory, creamy texture like mayo but with less fat and calories (and much more protein!). In some recipes, you might not even notice it’s in there.

    And these salads are healthy, too. They’re high in protein, low in carbs, and many are low in calories. Many include fresh veggies and fruit, so you also get a good amount of fiber.

    Not only that, these salads are simple to make. Each recipe is just eight ingredients and often is a matter of simply chopping and mixing. Sometimes we pulse the cottage cheese for a smoother texture, but it’s not always needed.
