Why You’ll Love This Dip
Super Easy to Make
With only three ingredients and a quick blend, you can have this dip ready in just minutes. No cooking, no fuss—just a straightforward, simple recipe.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- cottage cheese
- sour cream
- ranch seasoning
Delicious Flavor
The combination of creamy cottage cheese, tangy sour cream, and zesty ranch seasoning creates a mouthwatering dip that’s full of flavor! It’s the perfect mix of savory and creamy, making it a hit!
Healthy and Nutritious
This dip is not just tasty, it’s also healthy for you. Cottage cheese is packed with protein, helping to keep you full and satisfied. Plus, it’s lower in fat compared to other creamy dips, making it a healthier option for snacking.
Versatile
You can serve this dip with so many different dippers, from fresh veggies to crunchy crackers. Using fresh vegetables is always my go-to! You could even use it as a spread for sandwiches or a topping for grilled meats.
Kid-Friendly
My kids love dips and this is one that is always guilt-free to serve! It’s a great way for kids to get a little protein boost and to eat more vegetables!
Recommended Tools
While you can mix the dip by hand, I HIGHLY recommend using a small blender or food processor for a smoother consistency with the cottage cheese. Mixing by hand will still be delicious, but the consistency of the cottage cheese will still be lumpy. I personally use my nutribullet for this recipe! Here’s why a blender is your best friend for this recipe:
- Efficiency: A blender quickly combines the ingredients, saving you time and effort.
- Texture: Blending creates a creamy dip that’s perfect for dipping.
- Versatility: You can use your blender for countless other recipes, making it a worthwhile kitchen investment.
What to Serve with Your Dip
This versatile dip pairs perfectly with a variety of dippers. Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Fresh Vegetables: Carrot sticks, cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, broccoli, snap pears are all great options. This is my FAVORITE way to eat this dip– it just tastes so light and refreshing!
- Crackers and Chips: Crackers, pita chips, pretzels, and even tortilla chips would complement the creamy dip nicely.
- Chicken: Use it as a dipping sauce for grilled chicken. Both of these recipes would be great to use!
