white rabbit salad

Yield: about 6 servings.

3 cups cottage cheese
1 to 2 Tbs. honey, to taste
2 to 3 Tbs. lemon juice, to taste
1/4 cup (packed) raisins or currants
1/2 cup chopped, toasted nuts
1 Tbs. poppy seeds
2 medium-sized tart apples, diced
Plus many options:
fresh peach slices
fresh pear slices
seedless red or green grapes
orange sections
chunks of ripe honeydew or cantaloupe

Combine everything and chill.

My notes:
I used currants (better size, I think), the nuts I used were walnuts, and the apples I used were granny smiths. I didn't add any of the "options" (frankly, I didn't have time).

Served at our March madness "tea party."
