Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 16 ounces (454 grams) low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) mayonnaise

Seasoning:

  • 2 tablespoons Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix

Flavor Enhancers:

  • 0 additional ingredients

Instructions

  1. Whisk cottage cheese, mayonnaise, and ranch seasoning in a medium mixing bowl until smooth and fully integrated, ensuring no dry mix clumps remain.
  2. Seal the bowl with plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid, then chill in the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes to enhance flavor development and allow ingredients to harmonize.
  3. After chilling, give the dip a quick stir to redistribute any settled seasonings and restore creamy consistency.
  4. Transfer to a serving dish and accompany with crisp raw vegetables like carrots, celery, bell peppers, or your preferred crackers for dipping.
  5. For optimal taste and texture, consume within 2-3 days when stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Elevate flavor intensity by using full-fat cottage cheese for richer, creamier texture.
  • Customize dip’s consistency by draining excess liquid from cottage cheese before mixing for thicker spread.
  • Swap mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter, protein-packed version that reduces overall calorie content.
  • Enhance nutritional profile by incorporating finely chopped fresh herbs like chives or dill for added freshness and complexity.
