Easy Vegan Cottage Cheese

Submitted by Prose

"You couldn't fool anybody that this is the "real" thing, but it is definitely tasty, especially if you haven't had dairy in a while. I like it as a dip for potato chips. It's also great on crackers or tomato slices. It's a hodgepodge of recipes I found on the internet. Silken tofu is the kind that comes in the little aseptic box, often found on the shelf in the health-food section or refrigerated in the produce section at your local grocery store."

• 1 (11 1/2 ounce) box firm silken tofu

I give it 4 stars for the simple fact that it's more Reminiscent Of an egg salad. Delicious, yes! I left out the salt since the mayo was salty enough. If you omit the onion and garlic, it'll be more similar to a cottage cheese.

This was really tasty! It has some similarities to cottage cheese.<br/><br/>I'm using it as a tofu salad/dip/spread. Its great! I didn't use as much salt, and next time I might halve the spices and then add from there, but really-- its good as is! <br/><br/>I had mine on toast with some veganaise chipotle spread! :)
