Ingredient substitutions
Cottage cheese
- Low fat cottage cheese: Use the same weight for a lighter bowl with similar protein.
Cucumber
- Seedless cucumber: Use the same weight for a slightly milder crunch.
Dill
- Dried dill: Use less because dried dill tastes more concentrated and less grassy.
Olive oil
- Mild olive oil: Choose a gentle oil so the cottage cheese and dill stay prominent.
Salt
- Black pepper: Use extra pepper only if reducing salt, as it will not replace saltiness.
Black pepper
- Dill: Extra dill keeps the bowl aromatic when pepper is avoided.
