16 oz cottage cheese (≈450‑500 g)
7 oz feta cheese, drained (≈200 g)
Juice of 1 lemon (≈2 fl oz / 60 ml)
½ cup basil leaves, lightly packed
⅓ cup flat‑leaf parsley, lightly packed
¼ cup fresh dill, lightly packed
¼ cup chives, roughly chopped
3 tbsp olive oil (≈45 ml)
1 tbsp honey (≈15 ml)
½ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp garlic powder

Directions

I add the cottage cheese, feta, lemon juice, basil, parsley, dill, chives, olive oil, honey, salt, and garlic powder into a food processor or blender.
I blend everything until the texture is smooth and creamy.
Then, I spoon the dip into a serving bowl. If I’m feeling fancy, I drizzle a little olive oil on top and crack some fresh black pepper over it.
I like to serve it with crunchy vegetables, crackers, or toasted bread.

Variations

I sometimes switch up the herbs based on what I have—tarragon or cilantro can bring a new twist.
For a spicier dip, I add a small clove of raw garlic or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
If I want it even creamier, I add a spoonful of Greek yogurt.
I’ve also used ricotta instead of cottage cheese when I wanted a richer texture.

storage/reheating

I keep any leftover dip in an airtight container in the fridge. It stays fresh for 3 to 4 days. I always give it a quick stir before serving again. I don’t recommend freezing it, as the texture changes too much.

FAQs

How long does this dip last in the fridge?

I usually keep it for up to 4 days in the fridge in a sealed container. The flavor holds up well, but I always stir it before serving again.

Can I make this dip without a food processor?

Yes, I’ve made it using a high-powered blender as well. For a chunkier texture, I sometimes mash everything together by hand with a fork, but it takes a little more effort.

Is this dip healthy?

Absolutely. It’s high in protein thanks to the cottage cheese and feta, and the fresh herbs add antioxidants. I find it to be a great snack that satisfies without being heavy.

What can I serve with this dip?

I love it with carrot sticks, cucumber slices, or bell pepper strips. It also works great as a spread on toast or in wraps.

Can I use dried herbs instead of fresh?

I’ve tried it with dried herbs in a pinch, but the flavor just isn’t the same. Fresh herbs really make this dip shine.

This Green Goddess Cottage Cheese Dip is everything I want in a snack—fresh, creamy, and packed with flavor. It’s a breeze to make and always impresses when I serve it to guests. Whether I’m looking for a light lunch addition or a healthy party dip, this one never lets me down.
