Sodium is calculated without salt added to taste.
Estimated; may vary.
A grape and cashew salad sandwich: low-fat cottage cheese mixed with quartered red grapes, chopped cashews, celery and parsley, piled on whole-grain bread with lettuce. About 391 calories with 19 g protein, and it takes 15 minutes with no cooking.
Drain the cottage cheese in a sieve for a few minutes so the filling is not watery, and chop the cashews fine so they spread through the mix rather than sitting in lumps. Quarter the grapes; halves roll out of the sandwich.
The filling keeps a day in the fridge. Assemble just before eating, with the lettuce between the filling and the bread to keep it from going soft. It also works as a salad over greens if you want to skip the bread.
