Ingredients
2 cups full-fat or 2% cottage cheese
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 clove fresh garlic
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Place the cottage cheese and Greek yogurt into a high-speed blender or food processor.
Blend on high speed for 60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and aerated.
Add the fresh garlic clove and lemon juice to the blender.
Pulse for an additional 15-20 seconds until the garlic is fully incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and gently fold in the chopped fresh dill.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Notes
If using a standard blender, add a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil to help the blades process the mixture. Ensure herbs are patted completely dry to maintain the thick, whipped consistency. You can adjust the tanginess by adding more lemon juice to suit your preference.
