Can I use dried herbs instead of fresh?
Fresh herbs are better here—they stay bright and don't get gummy. If you only have dried, use 1 teaspoon total and add a squeeze of lemon juice for freshness.

FAQ · Things people ask
About this recipe.
What if my cottage cheese is too watery?
Drain it through a fine-mesh sieve for 2–3 minutes before mixing. Excess whey will dilute the herbs and make the spread runny.
Can I prep this the night before?
Mix the cheese and herbs up to 12 hours ahead, but slice the tomato fresh—it gets mealy and watery if cut too early.
