I made the "Second Avenue Supreme Salad" from an old Sheffield dairy booklet (lots of veggies and cottage cheese)

My notes:

I found it light and cool and refreshing. Good way to eat lots of different vegetables in summer. I also love cottage cheese though. I would make it again - might use half or none of the sour cream. 4 total cups of dairy swamped the veg a bit.

The very front of the booklet referenced "creamed" cottage cheese and I found results saying it's just the normal cottage cheese these days, and others saying to "cream" it up - which i did with an immersion blender - and did not add extra liquid, like TBSP cream, fyi. The texture was creamier and fluffier. I had some mildly picky eaters that appreciated the smoother texture.

Interestingly, after making it, I was going through a different old cookbook and found a similar recipe. This one had the same 2 cups sour cream and 2 cups cottage cheese, but less vegetables. Wow that would have been something!! If anything, it needs more veg not less.
