Why You’ll Love this Recipe
- Protein packed dip – If you are looking for a protein packed alternative to your favorite dip, try this whipped cottage cheese dip recipe. It is similar in flavor to a sour cream or cream cheese based dip, but is lightened up because cottage cheese contains more protein.
- Great for meal prep – Because of the added protein this dip is much more filling and satisfying. It is the perfect thing to make on a Sunday meal prep and keep in the fridge all week for quick snacks and meals.
- Customizable – The best thing about this dip is that it is highly customizable and you can add any kind of seasoning blend that sounds good to you. I usually use a ranch seasoning, but za’atar is another favorite option of mine.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s a quick look at the ingredients you need to make this easy whipped cottage cheese dip recipe. For a full list of ingredients and amounts please head to the full recipe.
- Cottage cheese: use a full-fat cottage cheese to ensure you are left with a dip that is thick, smooth and creamy. You can also drain the liquid off of low fat cottage cheese to ensure proper consistency.
- White vinegar or fresh lemon juice: a little bit of acid adds the perfect amount of tang to this cottage cheese dip recipe. You can also use white balsamic vinegar for a touch of sweetness.
- Olive oil: a little bit of extra virgin olive oil thickens the dip just enough.
- Worcestershire sauce: this adds a bit of umami, sodium and richness to the dip. If you do not have Worcestershire sauce you can use soy sauce, tamari or coconut aminos.
- Dried seasoning blend: I like to make this into a ranch dip. Sometimes l make my own ranch seasoning blend with salt, garlic powder, tsp onion powder, dried dill, dried parsley, dried chives and a bit of black pepper.
