Notes

We blended the cottage cheese and yogurt in a blender jug, but you could just put an immersion blender into the cottage cheese/yogurt container and blend it to save washing up. You can also leave the cottage cheese in curds if you prefer. If you prefer a drier tuna salad with cottage cheese, use a ⅓ less of the cottage cheese and yogurt. For an extra burst of flavor, you can add a few splashes of hot sauce.
