- 1 rib Celery finely diced
- 50 g Red onion finely diced
- 5 g Fresh chives finely chopped
- 35 g Gherkins diced
- 1 pinch Sea salt
- 1 pinch Ground black pepper
Instructions
- Put 100 g Fat free cottage cheese, 115 g 0% Fat Free Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard and juice of 0.5 Lemon into a blender and blend until smooth.

- Mix well and serve.
Notes
- We blended the cottage cheese and yogurt in a blender jug, but you could just put an immersion blender into the cottage cheese/yogurt container and blend it up to save washing up.
- You can also leave the cottage cheese in curds if you prefer, and it does add some extra texture. We like to blend it all together to make a smooth dressing. You can mash it with a fork to leave a little bit of the lumps.
- If you prefer a drier tuna salad with cottage cheese, then use a ⅓ less of the cottage cheese and yogurt.
- For an extra burst of flavor, you can add a few splashes of hot sauce to the mixture. We like buffalo hot sauce.
