Add 1/2 cup tropical fruit on top of cottage cheese. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon grated cheddar cheese over fruit. Drizzle about 2 tablespoons of the prepared dressing over the salad. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sunflower seeds and a little nutmeg.

 

Notes: This recipe is based on a favorite my mother made. Over the years, I've experimented with substituting and adding ingredients and came up with this version.
