Good choice in diets.
Yeah, peanut butter is fine, as long as you count it as your nuts for the day.
Cottage cheese is technically cheese, but I wouldn't eat as much as you like of it. It's really not filling in the same way. Plus, it has quite a few more carbs than normal cheese. Like milk, it makes some people hungry faster than other protien sources, too. If I eat 200 cals of cheddar, I'm full for a long time. 200 cals of cottage cheese, and I'm hungry in an hour.
I still eat it, though. usually with some sunflower seeds, cinnamon and Splenda stirred in.
As long as you're making progress, those dressings (and the cottage cheese) are fine. If things stall, look to fine tune things even further.
Remember that oil and vinegar, herbs and spices make good dressings, too. Sometimes I just put salsa on my salads, too. Taco salad. Good stuff.
Avocado, mashed up with some water or salsa, maybe some vinegar or lemon/lime juice, makes a good dressing, too.
