Everything Bagel Cottage Cheese Power Bowls
You guys, I’ll get to the recipe in a hot second, but let’s just take a moment to process what’s going on under the bowls.
I think I’m developing a reputation in the city-wide Facebook buy/sell/trade group I’m in as that woman that keeps buying rickety old tables.
This isn’t the first rickety old table I’ve purchased, but it’s the best. It’s actually more of a rolling cart than a table, really – you can see the full thing on Instagram.
The previous owners had found it at an antique store. They didn’t know much history about it other than that it’s about one hundred years old, and was used in a factory at some point.
It didn’t fit in with the current decorating scheme of their home, so I basically (safely) sped my car over to their house, cash in hand, loaded it lovingly into my trunk, and brought it home to be with it’s new family.
It’s dirty and rustic and weathered and I’m in love.

So, what’s that on top of my new forever love? The most epic Everything Bagel Cottage Cheese Power Bowls.
My very favorite recipe to use cottage cheese for is my mom’s lasagna made with cottage cheese, followed by my savory cottage cheese bowl, because it’s a very versatile ingredient. It can even be used to make a sweetened, whipped fruit dip for Easter fruit salad.
Lactose-free cottage cheese is pretty easy to find in any major grocery store, and it’s a big part of the “power” of this power bowl.
The rest of the goodness is made up of arugula, grape tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, capers (see also: lemon caper pasta), bagel chips and everything bagels seasoning.
This bowl will power you through a long afternoon!

Everything Bagel Cottage Cheese Power Bowls
Ingredients
- 4 cups arugula
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup grape tomatoes halved or quartered if large
- 1 cup sliced cucumber
- ½ cup thinly sliced red onion
- 2 tablespoons capers

- 1 tablespoon Everything Bagel Seasoning
Instructions
- Divide arugula between two salad bowls or plates. Top with cottage cheese, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, capers and bagel chips.

Notes
- Home Chef Tip: Is the flavor of raw red onions too strong for you? Soak chopped onion in ice water for 5 minutes, then drain and serve. The cold water will temper the "bite" of the onion.
That cart is adorable and so is your dog!! I love how it looks in your photos! Now I’m craving salad 🙂
Do you have a link for that buy/sell/trade FB group? I’m hopefully moving sometime this year to a house or condo so that would be useful 🙂 I’m assuming it’s Detroit area.
Thanks!
Hi Liz! It’s a Ferndale group, but people from other communities are allowed to partake as well. I’ll send you an invite on FB right now 🙂
This looks all kinds of amazing! I LOVE bagel chips but I actually can’t remember the last time that I had any (besides, you know, picking them out of Chex Mix!). Definitely pinning this to try sometime soon!
Hahaha, right? I don’t know that I’d ever bought bagel chips before deciding to do this recipe, but now I’m kind of obsessed with them, and dipping them in hummus, Greek yogurt dip, EVERYTHING!
