Description

This classic Dill Dip offers a refreshing twist on traditional creamy spreads, utilizing low-fat cottage cheese blended until silky smooth for a lighter texture without sacrificing richness. The vibrant flavor profile comes from fresh lemon juice, zesty dillweed, and finely chopped parsley, balanced by the savory depth of Beau Monde seasoning. It is an ideal appetizer for potlucks, game day gatherings, or a healthy snack option. The dip chills well, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully before serving. Serve it in a hollowed-out cabbage head for a rustic presentation that impresses guests while keeping calories in check.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the low-fat cottage cheese, low-fat buttermilk, and fresh lemon juice into the container of a blender or food processor.
  2. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides if necessary.
  3. Transfer the blended mixture into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
  4. Stir in the finely chopped onion, Beau Monde seasoning, lite mayonnaise, finely chopped parsley, and dillweed until evenly combined.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to chill thoroughly.
  6. To serve, hollow out a small head of cabbage, slicing off the bottom to create a flat base so it sits upright on a platter.
  7. Spoon the chilled dip into the cabbage bowl and surround it with fresh vegetable sticks like carrots, celery, and bell peppers.
