Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
Herbs and Seasoning
- 1 tbsp chives, chopped
- 1 tbsp dried dill or 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional
- 1-2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
To Serve
- Assorted fresh vegetables for dipping
Instructions
- Blend the Base: In a food processor or blender, combine the cottage cheese and Greek yogurt. Blend until the mixture reaches a smooth and creamy texture, free of lumps.
- Mix in Herbs and Seasonings: Transfer the blended mixture into a bowl. Add the minced garlic, dill, chives, salt, and pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute the flavors throughout the dip.
- Taste and Adjust: Sample the dip and adjust seasoning as needed by adding more salt, pepper, or herbs according to your preference.
- Chill Before Serving: Place the dip in the refrigerator and chill for at least 15 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly for better texture.
- Serve: Serve the chilled dip with an assortment of fresh vegetables such as carrots, celery, bell peppers, or cucumber for dipping, or enjoy it as a spread on crackers or bread.
Notes
- For a stronger garlic flavor, increase the minced garlic amount to 2 cloves.
- Use fresh dill if available for a brighter flavor; dried dill is a suitable substitute.
- Can be prepared in advance and stored refrigerated for up to 3 days.
- Adjust the thickness by adding more Greek yogurt for a thinner dip or more cottage cheese for thickness.
- Great as a protein-packed snack for those aiming to increase protein intake.
