Ingredients

64 oz cottage cheese
3 cucumber
2 2/3 cups cherry tomatoes
3 avocado
3 tbsp everything bagel seasoning
1 hot sauce
1 olive oil

Instructions

Prep the line: Dice cucumber and avocado, halve cherry tomatoes, and set cottage cheese and each topping out in separate bowls so the crew can build their own without cross-contamination.
Build order: Scoop cottage cheese into a bowl first, then top with cucumber, tomatoes, and avocado. Finish with everything seasoning and a light drizzle of olive oil.
Hold briefly: This bowl holds about 20 minutes covered in the fridge before the cucumber and tomato start releasing water — build close to serving time when possible.
Serve cold: Serve cold with hot sauce on the side for anyone who wants heat. This is a fast, no-stove option when the hall is busy.

Station workflow

Set out cottage cheese and all toppings in separate bowls for a self-serve build.
Keep tomatoes and cucumber cold until the moment of assembly so bowls don't get watery.
Have everything seasoning and hot sauce within reach at the end of the line.

Cleanup

Rinse the cutting board right after dicing vegetables — no cooked residue to worry about, but keep raw-produce boards separate from any meat prep that day.
Store unused toppings back in the fridge immediately rather than leaving them out.

Leftovers

Best assembled fresh — store cottage cheese and toppings separately if planning ahead.
Cottage cheese itself keeps up to a week; diced vegetables are best used within 2 days.
