Notes

  • For extra creaminess, choose full-fat cottage cheese or drain excess liquid before blending.
  • You can substitute fresh herbs with 1 teaspoon each of dried herbs if fresh are not available, but fresh herbs provide a brighter flavor.
  • Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few drops of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
  • This dip can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Use other dippers like bell pepper strips, cherry tomatoes, or whole grain crackers based on preference.
