So this is less of a recipe and more of a, “Hey, didn’t I see that on the box at some point?”
I am fairly certain that everyone in the good ole USA has seen this before. If you haven’t then email cause we need to be friends. I rarely meet people as behind the times as me.
Could. Not. Be. Simpler. (Want more amazing appetizers? I’ve got you covered!)
Snacks
I am sure you could add 101 different things to this, and by all means, please share so that I can break out of the mold a bit OK? My family will thank you. But every afternoon when the kids get home from school I am struggling to come up with easy snacks that everyone likes, that they can make themselves, and that isn’t loaded with sugar. This one fits the bill!
How to Make This Easy Snack
Now, these steps are long and complicated so please be sure to tell me if I left anything out!
Grab cracker.
Add cottage cheese.
Sprinkle with season salt.
Eat.
Gotta tell ya. Even though this is the easiest and cheapest snack ever, we love it. We can polish off two sleeves of crackers and a container on cottage cheese in one sitting. Not to mention the Lawry’s… did you see the size of that container???
Variations for Snacks
You can add jam, jelly, fresh fruit (we love pears), prunes, almost anything to this simple snack. Some folks use Mrs. Dash to cut down on salt, some use low fat cottage cheese, some get the low-sodium crackers and create an almost salt-free snack! I can say with full confidence that whatever combination you choose, you will be delighted with this easy treat.

Place about 1 tablespoon of cottage cheese on a cracker and sprinkle with season salt. Repeat as many times as you would like!
You may notice that I do not add quantities to this recipe. Simply put, you can make as many or as few as you would like.
So tell me, how many years (decades, centuries…) have you been enjoying this snack?
Are what are some ways you and your family customize it?
Have always put cottage cheese on Ritz crackers but never with seasoned salt . Will try that !
I will have tuna salad or chicken salad or even egg salad. It’s like every thing can go on a Ritz cracker.

We love cottage cheese on Ritz sprinkled with salt and pepper, but we top each one with a black grape! It’s delicious!!!

I had never heard of the Cottage Cheese and Ritz Cracker before !! I just tried it and it is very good !! Who would have thought !!?
As kids, we always ate cottage cheese with Lawry’s Salt but never with crackers. I will try it for sure!
I go with garlic powder and cracked black pepper.

Honest to God, I have never ever heard of this recipe but when I get some Ritz I’m going to try it.
Ritz has newly baked crackers (flavor, cheddar cheese which would be so good.
i love cottage cheese, chive and horseradish….
Reminds me…in my childhood mom made a popular snack….Mini salted crackers with scrambled egg and topped with either a sprig of cilantro or chopped green chillis or capsicum (un-seeded)
I make the cottage cheese variation with a topping for effect but it tastes good too.
