Prepare all the necessary products. Of course, it is better to cook such a snack in the season of vegetables, when tomatoes are fresh and fragrant. If you cook it in winter, then try to take tomatoes more carefully, but I always focus on their smell when choosing tomatoes and take the most fragrant ones. For this snack, tomatoes should be large enough, although you can also take cherries if you are cooking for a buffet table. Any green is suitable, - the main fresh.

Cottage cheese for this dish can be used by anyone, ideally. - Homemade: fat-free cottage cheese, and even grained, is perfect. If you have soft cottage cheese, then you can reduce the amount of sour cream - the main thing is that the mass keeps its shape well. Sour cream can also be replaced with low-fat yogurt. Mix the cottage cheese and sour cream, salt the mass a little. You can add a little of your favorite spices: someone likes it sharper - you can use hot peppers or sweet paprika.

Wash the greens well, dry, grind and add to the curd mass. Recently, I've loved the way I shred greens with scissors rather than a knife. It's very convenient!

Peel, grind and also add to the curd. I rub the garlic on a fine grater, but you can grind it with a knife or pass it through the press. In the absence of fresh garlic, garlic powder can be used.

Mix the mass well until smooth. In principle, for a more savoury taste, you can add a little mayonnaise or completely replace sour cream with it.

Wash the tomatoes well, dry, carefully cut off the top. If the tomatoes do not stand very evenly on the surface, then cut a little from the bottom for greater stability.

Remove the middle, leaving the walls of medium thickness. You don't need to salt the tomatoes themselves, otherwise they will emit a lot of moisture and the snack will be too watery.

Fill the resulting curd mass with tomato cups and serve immediately to the table. Snack tomatoes with cottage cheese and garlic ready. Enjoy your meal!
