Pantry staples— you probably have these

1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
Flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Method

1. Toast the Seeds

Place a small dry skillet over medium heat.
Add the pumpkin seeds and toast for 2 to 3 minutes, tossing frequently, until fragrant, slightly puffed, and golden. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.

2. Assemble the Base

Spoon the cottage cheese into a wide, shallow serving bowl and use the back of a spoon to smooth it into a gentle swirl.

3. Top and Garnish

Arrange the sliced cucumber and cherry tomatoes over the cottage cheese.
Scatter the fresh dill, parsley, and toasted pumpkin seeds over the top.
Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, then finish with a pinch of flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Serve immediately.
