Ingredients
- 2 cups 4% small curd cottage cheese
- ½ avocado
- ⅓ cup fresh herbs (such as chives, flat-leaf parsley, and dill), plus extra for garnish
- 1½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for garnish
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Blend the Ingredients:
- In a food processor, combine cottage cheese, avocado, fresh herbs, lemon juice, and olive oil.
- Blend until smooth and creamy, about 60–90 seconds.
- Season the Dip:
- Remove the blade from the food processor. Add salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir to combine.
- Serve:
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl.
- Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and chopped fresh herbs.
- Serve with fresh-cut vegetables, crackers, or other dippers.
Notes
- For extra creaminess, use full-fat cottage cheese.
- Lemon juice helps slow browning, but tightly covering leftovers will maintain freshness.
- Add your favorite toppings, like sesame seeds or crushed nuts, for added texture.
