  1. Wash and prepare your vegetables: halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the cucumbers, and julienne the bell peppers. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the cottage cheese. Use a fork or whisk to smooth it out slightly, making it easier to mix with the veggies.
  3. Add the halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, and julienned bell peppers into the bowl. Gently toss everything together to distribute evenly, ensuring the vegetables are coated with the cottage cheese.
  4. Squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the mixture and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently stir to combine all the flavors.
  5. Chop the fresh herbs and sprinkle them over the bowl. Fold in or scatter on top for a burst of herbal brightness.
  6. Give everything a final gentle stir to combine, then taste and adjust seasonings if needed. The mixture should be creamy with vibrant, crunchy vegetables and fresh herbs.
  7. Spoon the veggie cottage cheese mixture into serving bowls. Garnish with an extra drizzle of olive oil and additional herbs if desired. Serve immediately or chill briefly before eating for a cooler, refreshing experience.
