Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt (2-5% fat preferred)
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning
- Salt to taste
Optional
- 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice or vinegar (for making a dressing)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and ranch seasoning into a high-powered blender or food processor. If you want to make a dressing instead of a dip, add the lemon juice or vinegar at this stage.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. This usually takes about 30 seconds. If the dip is too thick, thin it out with a splash of water, adding one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
- Serve or Store: Enjoy the dip immediately, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Use a high-powered blender or food processor for the smoothest texture.
- Adjust ranch seasoning and salt to taste for flavor preferences.
- Optional lemon juice or vinegar adds a nice tang if turning the dip into a dressing.
- Great as a dip for veggies, chips, or a creamy spread for sandwiches.
- Can be stored refrigerated for up to 5 days.
