Description
This Cottage Cheese Dip is a creamy, herb-infused spread combining the tanginess of cottage cheese with creamy avocado and fresh herbs. Perfect for vegetables, crackers, or toast.
Ingredients
- 1 cup 4% small curd cottage cheese
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped dill
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (plus more for garnish)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Place the cottage cheese, avocado, fresh herbs, lemon juice, and olive oil into a food processor.

Notes
- Use high-quality olive oil for best flavor.
- Adjust herbs based on availability—basil, tarragon, or cilantro work well.
