Ingredients
  

2 cups cottage cheese

1 cup diced fresh strawberries

1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)

1 cup blueberries

1 banana, sliced

ΒΌ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Fruit: Wash and prepare all the fruits by slicing or dicing them as needed. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

    Mix the Dressing: In a separate bowl, combine the cottage cheese, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until well mixed and creamy.

      Combine: Pour the cottage cheese mixture over the prepared fruits. Gently toss to coat the fruits evenly without mashing them.

        Add Nuts: If using, sprinkle the chopped walnuts or pecans over the top. Gently mix to incorporate if desired.

          Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill.

            Serve: Just before serving, give the salad a gentle stir, garnish with fresh mint leaves if using, and enjoy!
