Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese (full-fat recommended for creaminess)
  • 2 tablespoons Ranch Seasoning Mix
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Chives, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt for extra creaminess
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Scoop the cottage cheese into a medium mixing bowl. For a smoother texture, blend the cottage cheese briefly using a food processor or blender, if desired.
  2. Add Ranch Seasoning: Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix evenly over the cottage cheese. Stir gently to begin incorporating the flavors, tasting as you go to prevent overpowering the dip.
  3. Mix in Fresh Ingredients: Add the chopped fresh chives and lemon juice. Stir thoroughly to combine everything well. If using, fold in sour cream or Greek yogurt now to enhance creaminess.
  4. Season to Taste: Add salt and pepper as needed, considering the saltiness of your cottage cheese brand. Taste and adjust seasoning until balanced and flavorful.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve cold for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for a creamier texture and richer flavor.
  • Customize ranch seasoning by making your own for better control over salt and additives.
  • Blend cottage cheese for an ultra-smooth dip if preferred.
  • Chill the dip for 30 minutes to 1 hour to enhance flavor melding.
  • Keep refrigerated until serving to preserve freshness and texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; stir before serving again.
  • Freezing is not recommended due to texture changes in cottage cheese.
