Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 (16 oz.) container cottage cheese
- ½ to 1 cup packed fresh parsley leaves (preferably flat-leaf)
- ½ to 1 cup packed soft fresh herbs (such as chives, tarragon, basil, or dill)
- ½ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. black pepper
- 1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil or water
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients including the cottage cheese, fresh herbs, salt, pepper, and garlic. Roughly chop the garlic for easy blending.
- Combine in Blender: Place the cottage cheese, packed fresh parsley, other soft fresh herbs, salt, pepper, and chopped garlic into a high-powered blender or food processor.
- Pulse and Blend: Pulse the mixture a few times to mix the ingredients evenly. Then puree until very smooth, gradually adding olive oil or water to help the blades blend efficiently and achieve a creamy consistency.
- Chill: Transfer the smooth dip to an airtight container and refrigerate it for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to thicken slightly before serving.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of herbs according to your preference for a milder or more intense herb flavor.
- Use olive oil for a richer taste or water for a lighter version depending on your dietary choice.
- For a vegan alternative, substitute the cottage cheese with blended silken tofu or a plant-based soft cheese.
- This dip pairs well with fresh vegetable sticks, pita chips, or as a spread on sandwiches.
- Store leftover dip in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
