  • If the dip is too thick, you may add 2 tablespoons of water and blend again until you have a whipped dip consistency. You may do this step again if you prefer your dip a bit runny.

  • Taste and add more salt and pepper, if needed. The flavor will deepen and incorporate more as it sits in the fridge for a few hours.

Notes

  • Storage: Store the dip in a container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Can also be used in sandwiches or as a high-protein salad dressing.
  • Use low-fat cottage cheese
  • Small curd or large curd will work
  • Taste your cottage cheese first. If it is salty, skip adding salt
  • The dip might be a bit on the thick side. Add 1/4 cup water or milk and blend again to thin it out.
  • Consider adding 1/4 cup Greek yogurt if you like but not needed.
