This is an easy and delicous salad. We had it for lunch with some fresh bread and butter and it was perfect. I love avocado, so this one will be made again. Thanks for the terrific recipe!

Very light and refreshing for lunch. It's creamy and crunchy and a little tangy, too! Also great because it can be whipped up in just minutes. I think some chopped scallions would be fabulous in this salad. I'll try that sometime. Thanx for posting.

The combination of lettuce, avocado and cottage cheese works well and I agree with twissis that it makes a nice side dish to a Tex-Mex or Mexican meal. I served this as part of a meal with grilled corn and steak with chipotle butter. BF (who actually prepared the salad) doubled the dressing as he found the stated amount too dry with all the ingredients. He peppered the avocado first and I think maybe I would sprinkle the cream cheese with a little bit paprika before mixing it into the other ingredients another time. This would add taste and colour. I had some fresh coriander in the fridge (the Asia shop sells them in huge bunches) which I roughly chopped and added four or five tablespoon to the salad. The combo of lettuce, avocado and cottage cheese is nice, but as those ingredients are all rather bland the mixture can be improved by adding spices and herbs. Thank you for posting this salad, Katia.

I needed something crisp & light to go w/an otherwise “sturdy” Mexican dinner last nite & your salad was perfect. Since I favour Mex fare so much, I’m a fan of avocado … but I’d never combined it w/cottage cheese. What a nice surprise it was to see how well this combo works. Maybe pers pref, but I found I needed to add a fair amt of salt. This salad works well as part of a main meal & will also make such a quick, easy & tasty lunch for me. Thx for posting.
