Skinny Protein Salad

Years and years ago I tried something like this, but I didn't like it between bread. Now I'm reducing carbohydrate intake, and this is a tasty alternative (without bread) to plain cottage cheese (I use low fat because the nonfat is so dry and low fat is at least a compromise). Cook time is chill time if you want it cold, but isn't really necessary.
