I suggest making a spicy cottage cheese salad with eggplant and tomatoes. It turns out to be a great snack dish, and it is also a dietary option that you can dine with without fear of gaining weight. Step-by-step recipe with a photo. Video recipe.
We love and cook two dishes: stuffed tomatoes with cottage cheese and fried eggplant rolls with cottage cheese. Since both eggplants and tomatoes harmonize well with cottage cheese. Therefore, I decided to combine these three products in one dish and prepare a simple, healthy and delicious salad with eggplant, tomatoes and cottage cheese. On a hot summer day, this salad will be an indispensable dish that gourmets will especially appreciate. The dish is juicy, tasty and nutritious at the same time. In this case, the food does not burden the stomach, because it is light and gentle. Also, if desired, the salad can be supplemented with other vegetables that will bring new flavors: cucumbers, bell peppers, any fresh herbs. These products are bright, original and harmoniously combined.
It should be noted that the salad is very healthy, because each ingredient gives the body only healing substances. By the way, the salad does not require any dressing. Thanks to the juiciness of the tomato and cottage cheese, it will not be dry. I recommend that you especially pay attention to this dish for people who want to get rid of extra pounds. Only then should the following points be taken into account. First, take fat-free cottage cheese. Secondly, do not fry the eggplants in a pan in oil, as suggested in the recipe, but bake them in the oven on a baking sheet. This salad is perfect for breakfast or family dinner.

Step-by-step preparation of salad with eggplant, tomatoes and cottage cheese, recipe with photo:
1. Wash the eggplants, dry with a paper towel and cut into strips. If the fruits are old, then remove the bitterness from them. This can be done dry or wet. The two options are described in detail in recipes with step by step photos, which you can find on the pages of the site. To do this, use the search string. It is not necessary to remove bitterness from young fruits, because it is not in them.
2. Place the eggplants in a heated frying pan with vegetable oil and fry over medium heat until golden brown. If you want a dietary salad, put the eggplants on a greased baking sheet and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes at 180 degrees.

4. Add chopped tomatoes and chopped fresh herbs.
