A surprisingly "sneaky" salad ingredient

Cottage Cheese Salad Mary Elizabeth Williams
In "Quick & Dirty," Salon Food's Mary Elizabeth Williams serves up simplified recipes and shortcuts for exhausted cooks just like you — because quick and dirty should still be delicious.

Cottage cheese is like Eugene Levy. For years, it was just a comedic punchline, a lightweight bad guy. Then one day, you turn around and suddenly stop in your tracks. "Hold up," you wonder. "Are you actually suave as hell?"

I don't know exactly when we all fell in love with cottage cheese in our household, but I can confirm the obsession was nudged along by the earworm of a particular dairy brand's jingle. Cottage cheese, you are versatile, super flavorful and cheap as hell. I'd like to apologize for not realizing this when you were a sad sidekick in the '80s.
