We know this salad with cottage cheese and tomatoes from my mother's Armenian friend. But her family was not from Armenia, but from Turkey - they managed to escape just when the extermination of their people began, and the paths of fate brought these people to Russia, relatively far to the north. They have relatives in Armenia, but the branch of the family with which we are familiar did not, in fact, live in that country. With this in mind, I really don’t know what national cuisine this salad belongs to (there is no such dish in modern Armenian, I asked)!
It's strange - only one ingredient is different than in the tomato salad with sour cream familiar to us from childhood, but according to perception, this was a new dish for us! Perhaps his secret was a huge amount of black pepper, uncharacteristic of Russian cuisine. But in our family, Aunt Mona's recipe has taken root precisely in such a conservative and concise form, in which she herself showed it to us. We didn't add or subtract anything. It has no greens, no garlic, but it is delicious without them, believe me!
The recipe for a salad with cottage cheese and tomatoes has very few ingredients, it is cheap in season, elementary in preparation and suitable for any time of the day and for any meal (well, except for lean and vegan ones, of course). You can have it for breakfast, and with meat, and with boiled potatoes ... But also on festive table don't be ashamed! In general, despite the simplicity, I would like to introduce you to this recipe: maybe for you it will be as useful a little culinary discovery as it is for us.
We cut the tomatoes into large slices.
Sprinkle them with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Be sure to be freshly ground, and there should be a lot of it. By the way, this salad was the first time in my life when I saw a real manual pepper grinder, and how it is ground from grains! You will laugh, but until that moment I had no idea that the black peas and black powder that my mother uses are, in principle, the same thing ... In my childish brain, these were two different seasonings.
Well, now it remains only to mix everything with cottage cheese! And the salad with cottage cheese and tomatoes is ready!!!
It remains to try it, is it seasoned enough. Because black pepper should be really very, very much!

We cut the stalks of lettuce celery (the upper part is more suitable for salad) into small cubes, add to the salad bowl. 
Mix vegetables with fat-free cottage cheese. 
Garlic cloves are peeled, cut coarsely. We free half of the chili pod from the seeds, cut off the membrane - this is the most burning part of the pepper, cut it finely. We put pepper and garlic in a mortar, add sea salt, grind the mass until a thick slurry is obtained. 
Add finely chopped dill and mashed garlic, pepper and salt to the salad bowl.
