Ingredients
Dip Ingredients
- 2 cups (500 mL) cottage cheese
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp French onion soup mix
- 1–2 tsp dried parsley
- Fresh herbs (such as dill, chives, or parsley) for topping, optional
For Serving
- Veggies (carrot sticks, cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, etc.)
- Crackers
- Chips
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large food processor, add 2 cups of cottage cheese, ⅓ cup sour cream, 1 tablespoon of French onion soup mix, and 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried parsley. These ingredients form the base of your creamy dip.
- Blend Until Smooth: Process the mixture until smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed to ensure even blending and a creamy texture.
- Serve and Garnish: Remove the dip from the food processor and transfer it to a serving bowl. Top with fresh herbs like dill, chives, or parsley if desired, then serve immediately alongside veggies, crackers, or chips for dipping.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of dried parsley according to your taste preference.
- Using low-fat or fat-free cottage cheese and sour cream can reduce the calorie and fat content.
- Make sure to blend thoroughly for a smooth, creamy texture; pulse blending will leave the dip lumpy.
- This dip can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 1 day, but fresh herbs are best added just before serving.
- Try pairing with a variety of crunchy veggies and whole-grain crackers for a balanced snack.
