How to serve Cottage Cheese with Mango and Honey

This dish shines when served fresh, but here are some creative ways to enhance your enjoyment:

• Use it as a topping for whole grain toast for a twist.
• Pair it with granola for added crunch during breakfast or brunch.
• Serve it alongside a refreshing herbal tea to complement the flavors.
• Consider adding a sprinkle of chia seeds for extra texture and nutrition.

A beautifully plated dish, perhaps in a clear glass to showcase the vibrant colors, not only looks appealing but enhances the overall experience.

Keeping leftovers fresh

If you have any leftovers (which is rare because it’s so delicious!), here’s how to store it:

• Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate.
• It should last about 1-2 days in the fridge.
• Avoid freezing it, as the texture of the cottage cheese may be compromised when thawed.

Always make sure to keep an eye on freshness; if it starts to smell off or changes in texture, it’s best to discard it.

Helpful cooking tips

• Choose a ripe mango for the best flavor—look for the fruit to have a slight give when squeezed.
• If you want to make this more filling, consider adding nuts such as walnuts or almonds for a crunch.
• Experiment with different honey varieties (like raw or infused honey) to see how they change the flavor profile.
