Ingredients
Dairy and Base
- 1 cup 1% – 2% cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup softened plain cream cheese
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
Seasonings
- 3/4 tsp dried dill
- 1 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt
- Pinch of pepper or chili flakes
Fresh Ingredients
- 1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh dill
- 3/4 cup diced dill pickles
Garnishes
- Fresh dill
- Chopped dill pickles
- Crushed pita chips, crackers, or chips (optional)
Instructions
- Blend the base ingredients: To a food processor or blender, add the cottage cheese, softened cream cheese, and plain Greek yogurt. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- Combine seasonings and fresh ingredients: Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl. Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, kosher salt, pepper (or chili flakes), fresh chopped dill, and diced dill pickles until well combined.
- Chill the dip: Refrigerate the dip for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Once chilled, transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with additional fresh dill, chopped dill pickles, and a handful of crushed pita chips, crackers, or plain chips if serving immediately. For meal prep, garnish only with fresh dill before storing.
- Serve: Present the dip alongside fresh vegetables, crackers, pita chips, or plain chips for a delicious snack or appetizer.
Notes
- Use 1% or 2% cottage cheese for a balance of creaminess and lower fat.
- Adjust the seasoning amounts to taste, especially the salt and garlic powder.
- Refrigerate the dip for at least 15 minutes before serving to enhance the flavor blend.
- For a vegetarian diet, this dip is suitable; however, it contains dairy so it’s not vegan.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
