Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • ⅔ cup Cottage Cheese Adds creaminess and protein; for a tangy alternative, use Greek yogurt.
  • 6 large Eggs Provide protein and structure; opt for hard-boiled eggs for ease.
  • 5-6 tablespoons Scallions/Spring Onions, finely chopped Bring fresh onion flavor and crunch; red onion can be used for a stronger taste.
For the Dressing
  • 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise Contributes richness and moisture; substitute with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
  • 1½ teaspoons Dijon-Style Mustard Adds tanginess and depth; yellow mustard is a milder alternative.
  • ⅓ teaspoon Fine Sea Salt Enhances flavor; consider kosher salt for a coarser texture.
  • ⅓ teaspoon Black Pepper Provides essential spice; adjust to taste or omit for a milder salad.
  • ⅓ teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes Introduces heat and flavor complexity; substitute with paprika for a milder option.

Equipment

  • Medium-sized pot

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Boil the eggs by placing them in a pot, covering with water, and boiling for 7-8 minutes.
  2. Cool the eggs quickly in ice water for 2 minutes to stop cooking and ease peeling.
  3. Chop the eggs; separate yolks from four egg whites and chop the remaining eggs.
  4. Prepare the dressing by mashing egg yolks with cottage cheese, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard.
  5. Combine chopped eggs, remaining cottage cheese, scallions, and the dressing, seasoning with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  6. Chill the mixed salad in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving.
