Mary’s Tips & Tricks

  • Equipment: I recommend using a food processor instead of a blender or nutribullet for this recipe because the food processor achieves that smooth, whipped, and creamy texture without over blending. 

Serving Tips

There are so many ways to serve this cottage cheese dip. It’s versatile, easily made ahead of time, and perfect for game day, large gatherings, or a weekday snack. Serve this with 

  • Vegetables: Sliced bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas, carrots, celery, or cauliflower. 
  • Crackers: Serve with your favorite gluten-free crackers. Simple Mills and Milton make great options.

Storage Tips

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for the shelf life of the cottage cheese. You can find the expiration date on the container.

Recipe FAQs

There are so many variations you can make. I love this savory ranch dip, but you can also mix in fresh fruit, honey, maple syrup, and more! 

Is cottage cheese healthy?

Yes! Cottage cheese is high in protein, low in calories, and also packed with calcium and other nutrients. It’s an excellent substitute for yogurt, cream cheese, sour cream, etc.
