Tuna + Cottage Cheese Salad

Delicious! I always make my tuna w/ cottage cheese, but never heard of putting tomoatoes in it, definately a good idea!
This was a great salad! I substituted cucumber for squash because I am absolutely in love with tuna-cucumber anything.
And I also, heretically, added red onion. 
Thanks for the great idea of adding cottage cheese to delicious tuna and veggies!
I used to make tuna salad with cottage cheese and forgot how I normally make it. This awesome recipe came up when I did a search on Bing! Perfect considering it’s summer time and I had fresh squash and jalapeno from my garden. I altered some, but it come out delicious!
My ingredients:
1 can tuna
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/3 cup corn
1/3 cup squash
1 tbsp capers
(did not measure the following)
a bit of lemon juice
a bit of line juice
dried basil flakes
dried dill weed
salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste
So delicious! Gives that satisfying crunch and is a wonderful dip. Thanks for the idea!
