Ingredients
Dairy
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup Cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup Whole milk (or any milk you like; use less for a thicker dip)
Herbs & Spices
- 2 tsp Dried parsley
- 1 tsp Dried dill
- 1 tsp Dried chives
- 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Onion powder
- 1/2 tsp Sea salt (to taste)
- 1/4 tsp Black pepper (to taste)
Others
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender or small food processor, add Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, lemon juice, dried parsley, dried dill, dried chives, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
- Blend: Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, ensuring that the cottage cheese is fully incorporated.
- Adjust Consistency: Slowly add milk one tablespoon at a time, pulsing or blending briefly after each addition, until the dressing reaches your desired thickness for use as a dip or pourable dressing.
- Serve or Store: Transfer the dressing to a container, use immediately or refrigerate for up to one week. Shake or stir before serving as separation may occur.
Notes
- Use less milk for a thicker dip or more milk for a pourable dressing consistency.
- Fresh herbs can be used instead of dried for a brighter flavor, adjusting quantities accordingly.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt and cottage cheese with plant-based alternatives.
- Keep the dressing refrigerated and consume within one week for best taste and freshness.
