- 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
- Whisk cottage cheese, mayonnaise, and ranch seasoning in a medium mixing bowl until smooth and fully integrated, ensuring no dry mix clumps remain.
- 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.
- After chilling, give the dip a quick stir to redistribute any settled seasonings and restore creamy consistency.
- Transfer to a serving dish and accompany with crisp raw vegetables like carrots, celery, bell peppers, or your preferred crackers for dipping.
- 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.
