Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese (drained)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Fresh Add-ins

  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives or green onions, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Drain the Cottage Cheese: For the creamiest texture, start by draining any excess liquid from your cottage cheese to prevent the dip from becoming runny and to ensure a smooth consistency.
  2. Combine Base Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the drained cottage cheese and sour cream. Stir gently until they’re evenly blended into a smooth, creamy base.
  3. Add Ranch Seasoning and Lemon Juice: Sprinkle in the ranch seasoning mix and squeeze in fresh lemon juice. Mix thoroughly to distribute the flavors evenly throughout the dip.
  4. Fold in Fresh Herbs: Chop chives or green onions finely and fold them into the dip for a pop of color and mild onion flavor.
  5. Taste and Adjust: Give the dip a final taste and add salt, pepper, or extra seasoning as needed. Chill for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for the best creamy texture and flavor.
  • Let the dip chill for at least 30 minutes to enhance the depth of flavor.
  • Choose high-quality ranch seasoning or make your own for a fresher taste.
  • Always serve this dip cold to maintain its texture and refreshing flavor.
  • Fresh herbs add brightness and elevate the dish beyond basic ranch dip.
