Note
This dip yields approximately 1 1/2 cups. For best results, use full-fat cottage cheese and yogurt if a richer texture is desired, though the low-fat version remains creamy when blended thoroughly.
Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir before serving if separation occurs.
Feel free to adjust the seasoning to taste. Add a squeeze of lemon juice for extra brightness or a pinch of black pepper for warmth.
Serve with fresh vegetable sticks such as carrots, celery, bell peppers, and cucumber slices for a healthy snack or appetizer.
