Preparation

- In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, yogurt, vinegar, feta, green onion, salt, oregano, dill, flax oil and a few grinds of fresh pepper.
- Blend until smooth. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
- If the sliced red onion is very sharp, rinse the slices in cool water to mellow their flavor and pat dry.
- Combine the beans and onions in a bowl, pour the dressing over and toss to coat.
