Step 1

Cut the Persian cucumbers into fourths lengthwise and then cut into slices.  (If you have to use regular cucumbers, they may need to be fully or partially peeled.)

Step 2

Dice the tomatoes, slice the green onions, and slice the olives.

Step 3

Combine the vegetables in a salad bowl, large enough to toss the ingredients together.

Step 4

Put the cottage cheese on top of the tossed vegetables.

Step 5

Drizzle with a generous amount of olive oil, sprinkle with Za’atar to taste, and toss again.

Step 6

Serve right away, with more Za’atar to be added at the table.
