Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup sliced fresh or frozen green beans
  • ½ cup sliced fresh or frozen capsicum
  • 1 tbsp sliced pickled onion
  • 1 tbsp sliced olives
  • 1 tbsp pesto
  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • 1 tbsp chopped nuts
  • 1 slice wholegrain bread

Instructions
 

  • Heat a BBQ, grill, or stovetop pan over high heat. Add the green beans and capsicum, cooking until they develop a slight char and start to blacken (5-7 minutes).
  • Transfer the grilled veggies to a mixing bowl. Toss them with pickled onion, olives, and pesto until evenly coated.
  • Divide the cottage cheese between serving bowls. Spoon the vegetable mixture on top of the cottage cheese, spreading it evenly.
  • Sprinkle chopped nuts over the top for crunch. Serve immediately with a slice of wholegrain bread on the side.
