Ingredients

  • 2 cups low-fat cottage cheese 2% milkfat
  • ¼ cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice from about ½ large lemon
  • 1 ounce ranch seasoning mix I recommend Simply Organic, Watkins, or Hidden Valley
  • 1 to 3 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons sliced fresh chives for garnish

Instructions

  • Combine cottage cheese, yogurt, lemon juice, and ranch seasoning mix in a food processor fitted with the S-blade.
  • Blend until smooth and no clumps of cheese remain, about one minute. Add splashes of water as needed to reach your desired consistency.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh chives.

Notes

  • Serving: I love this dip with raw vegetables, including carrots, celery, cucumbers, broccoli, cherry tomatoes, radishes, and snap peas. It's also delicious with crackers, pretzel crisps, chips, and pita bread.
  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.
  • Ranch seasoning: Using packaged seasoning saves time. If you want to make a homemade option, combine 1 tablespoon dried parsley, 1.5 teaspoons onion powder, 1.5 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dried dill weed, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
