Another recipe I have to share. Still keeping my weight off and eating like a "QUEEN". I have made this ahead of time so it's on hand when I need a quick bite. I have taken this same recipe and added smoked salmon or leftover salmon from a dinner. I just added the salmon with a little lemon juice and dill... so amazing. You can serve hot or cold. Wonderful for the summer out on the deck or for a winter snack toasted in the oven. The best thing is, it's totally "Guilt Free". A Happy Heart :) Enjoy.

Notes from the Test Kitchen:
The crunch of the fresh chopped veggies is great with the creamy cottage cheese. Simple seasonings add tons of flavor. Keep a batch in the fridge for a quick & easy breakfast or snack. It's delicious!

Ingredients

1 1/2 c: non-fat cottage cheese
1/4 c: chopped radishes
2 Tbsp: chopped red bell pepper
1/2 c: chopped celery
1/4 c: chopped green bell pepper
2 Tbsp: chopped fresh parsley
1 clove: garlic; minced
1/2 c: minced scallions
1/4 tsp: black pepper
1/4 tsp: Mrs. Dash original blend or add amount you want for taste
1/4 c: cooked salmon
1 tsp: fresh dill or 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
1 tsp: lemon juice

How to Make Fat Free Vegetable-Cheese Bagel

Step-by-Step

1Mash the cottage cheese and combine with radishes, red pepper, celery, green pepper, parsley, garlic, scallions, black pepper, and Mrs. Dash.
2Spread vegetable cheese mixture on 100 calorie bagel thins and broil for 8 to 10 min. Or, you can serve uncooked, cold on a bagel thin.
3For the bagel, I like to use Thomas multi-grain bagel thins, they are 110 calories including the top and bottom of the bagel. Calories are about 185 to 195 using the bagel thins.
