Young cabbage salad with tomatoes and cottage cheese.

   To prepare this simple salad, you will need quite a few products. Prepare cabbage, tomatoes, cottage cheese, onions, garlic and herbs. It is better to use young cabbage, it is more tender, not tough, sweet in taste and crispy. So, rinse the vegetables, herbs, peeled garlic and onions under running water.

   Chop the cabbage into thin strips. The thinner the cabbage is sliced, the tastier the salad will turn out.

   Grate garlic on a fine grater or pass it through a press, send it to a salad bowl along with cottage cheese.

I added for the taste more Provencal herbs from the freeze, they are wonderfully combined with cottage cheese and tomatoes.
