I made this for a salad tonight, just doubled it for my DH and I. It was very good, I didn't have sesame seeds, so I used slivered almonds and it tasted great. Love the honey.

What a refreshing breakfast! I love cottage cheese in the morning but I usually have it on toast. This was a lovely change. I too, followed Mamma's Kitchen in using the jarred version instead of the fresh grapefruit. I found that I was out of sesame seeds so I used poppy seeds....just loved this! I left off the coriander as that did not appeal to me. Well, Thorsten, again you amaze me. Ever thing of changing occupations?

Fantastic breakfast Thorsten! I used jarred grapefruit sections that I find in my local supermarket in the produce section. Saves lots of time! AND I cheated and heated the honey and sesame in the microwave. I also added a small spoonful of flax seeds just because. This breakfast really gets you off to a great start! Thanks Thorsten!
