  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Fresh Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Chives, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Start by adding 1 cup of cottage cheese into a medium mixing bowl. Use a fork or blender if you prefer a smoother texture before adding the other ingredients.
  2. Add the Creaminess: Mix in 1/4 cup of sour cream to enhance the creamy texture while balancing the tangy flavor of cottage cheese.
  3. Season to Perfection: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of ranch seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper into the bowl. Stir until fully combined.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for the creamiest texture and richest flavor.
  • For a smoother dip, pulse cottage cheese in a food processor before mixing.
  • Refrigerate the dip to deepen the ranch flavors dramatically.
  • Add a little milk or buttermilk if the dip is too thick.
  • Always opt for fresh herbs to brighten the taste.
