What it is
A distinctive Pkhali (a traditional Georgian vegetable or herb paste/salad) from the mountainous regions. This version uses 'green cheese' (Mtsvane Qveli), a unique aged cottage cheese, mixed vigorously with fresh coriander, dill, parsley, and garlic, creating a vibrant, tangy, and naturally low-carb salad.
Key ingredients
Mtsvane Qveli (or firm, crumbly cottage cheese), fresh coriander, fresh dill, fresh parsley, garlic, salt, black pepper, apple cider vinegar (optional).
Optional tweaks
Ensure no starches or high-carb fillers are added. Confirm it's made primarily with the 'green cheese' and fresh herbs, distinct from standard vegetable Pkhali.
Watch out for
Minimal carbohydrates from garlic.
