What happens when cozy, hearty pub flavors meet a lighter, salad-friendly wardrobe?

November 29, 2025 Amanda Plott

Who says you can’t have your BLT and eat it too—healthier, that is? If you’re a fan of the classic Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato sandwich but want to skip the bread and load up on protein instead, the Cottage Cheese BLT Bowl is your new best friend. This dish takes all the tasty goodness of a BLT and flips it into a bowl that’s packed with fresh tomatoes, crispy bacon, and creamy cottage cheese, making it a perfect guilt-free meal anytime.

What Makes This Bowl So Good?

You’ve got a bright, satisfying dish that feels indulgent but fuels your body right…
