How to store Greek Salad Cottage Cheese Flatbreads

Store components separately for best texture. Keep the cottage-cheese mix in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Keep chopped salad in a sealed container for 1–2 days.
Assembled flatbreads are best eaten right away, but you can wrap and chill for up to 24 hours.

Tips & Tricks

• Drain very wet tomatoes or pat them dry so the flatbread does not get soggy.
• Warm flatbreads briefly to make them soft and easy to fold.
• Use plain Greek yogurt mixed with cottage cheese if you want extra tang.
• For a high-protein dessert idea after your meal, try a cottage cheese chocolate mousse.

Variations & Substitutions

• Use whole-wheat pita, naan, or regular flatbread if you do not have low-carb flatbreads.
• Swap chicken for chickpeas to keep it vegetarian and add protein.
• Replace Kalamata olives with black olives or capers for a different salt note.
• Add cucumber yogurt sauce instead of the cottage-cheese spread for a different texture.

Q: Can I make this ahead for lunch?
