recipe reviews for:

Cottage Cheese, Avocado, and Black Bean Salsa

“An accidental masterpiece made from leftovers that is now an all-around favorite. Black beans, canned or frozen corn, avocado, and cottage cheese are just a few ingredients that, while not the prettiest bowl of food in the world, certainly make for one of the tastiest snacks around. Great to keep in the refrigerator for a delicious anytime snack.”

I didn't have salsa, but I added a little ranch dressing, chili powder, and cumin. It was very tasty with a nice little southwest flair. Almost like a guacamole and salsa combo.

I didn't read the recipe properly before I made this one. I just threw everything together in a bowl (minus the fresh tomatoe and avocado). It tasted alright, but I left it in the fridge overnight. The next day I added the avocados and tomatoes and the flavours had melted together and it was amazing! Perfect healthy snack and especially great before I work out. Thanks and I will make this one regularly.

Good flavor. I used medium salsa and half the cottage cheese and thought this a bit bland to the taste; hot salsa would probably help. We also found it visually unappealing, so I heated it in the microwave and added some shredded cheddar cheese to the top. The health quotient went down a bit but the appearance improved a lot.

This is so delicious. I made this with leftovers I had from cottage cheese chicken enchiladas and black beans with rice- two recipes from this site. My husband and I are not cottage cheese eaters normally and we couldn't get enough of this salsa! I left out the avocado because I didn't have one and it was still great.

I tried this for an office party... I didn't put in the avocados and used tomatoes and green chili's in a can, along with canned corn, spread it on some bruschetta bread and this thing was a hit!!!!

This was not bad and pretty healthy. I will make it again and tweek a bit. I used a small cluster tomatoes added an extra avocado and used pace. I mashed the avocado with 1/2 black beans and added to cottage cheese. I wanted to make it more dippy.

While this was tasty. It barley got touched at the party I brought it to. My husband took the leftovers and put it on a wrap and made buritos with it.

Yum! This stuff is great. I love cottage cheese, so didn't mind trying it out in this recipe. I didn't have any avocado, but it is still good without. I used it as filling for an omelet yesterday, it was fantastic! Thanks for the recipe :)

I like the concept but it was a little too bland for me. I'm going to try it again with less cottage cheese and homemade salsa. I gave it a 4 because I think it has potential as a healthy snack.

This is the best recipe ever. I made it for a Mexican party I was having and people couldn't get enough of it. Everyone wanted the recipe. I've made it several times and every time someone asks for the recipe. I used a can of corn instead of frozen or cob corn and it worked out well. It makes a lot, but it's so good it is gone in no time. It is definatly a favorite.

This recipe is scrumptious! After looking at the ingredients, I knew I was going to love it. It’s easy to alter according to your preference: I used an extra ½ can of black beans, frozen baby white corn (I microwaved it), and extra avocado. I also made my own salsa recipe really quickly with lots of garlic and cilantro!! One night, my family spooned it over hot baked potatoes, and we loved every bite. We also have added chicken from the barbeque and a little bit of cheddar and put it over baked potatoes. Dave, thank you for sharing your recipe that is now one of our favorites!
