Instructions
- Rinse 1 cup (about 150g) of fresh strawberries under cold water. Pat dry, hull, and slice into halves or quarters. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup (225g) small-curd cottage cheese with ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest (if using). Stir gently until evenly blended.
- Spoon the cottage cheese mixture into your serving bowl or glass. Top with the sliced strawberries evenly spread over the surface.

Notes
For a silkier texture, briefly blend the cottage cheese with vanilla and lemon zest in a food processor before assembling. Use small-curd cottage cheese for best texture. Drizzle honey slowly to avoid overly sweet spots. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Avoid freezing.
