Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1 cup of cottage cheese, 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of ranch seasoning, and 1 tablespoon of chopped chives.
- In a mixing bowl, add the cottage cheese. Use a fork or a whisk to break up any large curds for a smoother texture.
- Add the Greek yogurt to the bowl with the cottage cheese. This will enhance the creaminess of the dip.
- Sprinkle in the ranch seasoning. This will provide the dip with a flavorful and savory kick.
- Mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Ensure that the ranch seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Fold in the chopped chives for added flavor and a pop of color. You can adjust the amount of chives according to your taste.
- Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more ranch seasoning or salt if desired.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. You can garnish it with additional chives on top for presentation.
- Serve the cottage cheese dip immediately with your choice of dippers, such as fresh vegetables, crackers, or pita chips.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Tips
- For the smoothest texture, use a hand mixer or food processor to blend the cottage cheese, creating a silky-smooth consistency.
- Choose full-fat Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and a richer flavor profile.
- Experiment with different ranch seasoning brands to find your favorite flavor intensity.
- Fresh chives make a significant difference - if possible, use freshly chopped herbs from your garden or a local market.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the mix.
- Let the dip sit for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- For a low-carb option, serve with cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, or celery sticks instead of crackers.
