- Diet: Keto, Low-Carb, High-Protein
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cottage cheese (2% or 4% fat works best)
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: 1 teaspoon fresh chives for garnish
Instructions
- Step 1: Blend the Base – Place the cottage cheese, minced garlic, lemon juice, and onion powder into a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend on high for about 30 to 60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and no lumps remain.
- Step 2: Add the Fresh Herbs – Add the fresh dill and parsley to the blender. Pulse the machine 3 to 5 times. You want the herbs to be finely chopped and evenly distributed, but not completely liquified, so you still see beautiful green flecks.
- Step 3: Season and Taste – Taste the dip and add salt and black pepper according to your preference. Give it one final quick pulse to incorporate the seasonings.
- Step 4: Chill and Garnish – Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. For the best flavor development, let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh chives or a sprig of dill right before putting it on the table.
