This is something we always ate in the summer in Ohio! I'm guessing people eat this in other states too but topping juicy, sun-ripened tomatoes with mild and creamy cottage cheese was a classic way for us to enjoy tomatoes at their peak. I actually had this recipe shared on a different website, but wanted to share it here too :)

My parents and grandparents just had it plain, with a bit of pepper and maybe salt, but I added a little kick by sprinkling on some hot Jalapenos. You can optionally drizzle on balsamic, olive oil and/or your favorite herbs like basil and cilantro.
