Green Goddess Cottage Cheese Dip Recipe

Introduction

This Green Goddess Cottage Cheese Dip is a fresh and vibrant twist on a classic favorite. Creamy cottage cheese blends with bright herbs and tangy feta for a flavorful dip that’s perfect for parties or healthy snacking.

A white rectangular tray holds a colorful vegetable and cracker platter arranged neatly around a central bowl of creamy green dip swirled with olive oil, sprinkled with herbs and spices, and topped with a small basil leaf. The dip is surrounded by six different sections: bright orange and purple striped carrot sticks on the top left, fresh green celery sticks on the top right, thin round purple radish slices at right center, green snap peas on the bottom right, tan multigrain crackers just left of the snap peas, and halved mini red and orange bell peppers at bottom left. Slices of green cucumber line the left center. The tray rests on a white marbled surface with a striped white and green cloth nearby, and two tubs of Breakstone's cottage cheese lie above and below the tray, with small edible purple flowers scattered around.

Ingredients

16 oz Breakstone’s 2% Large Curd Cottage Cheese
7 oz feta cheese in brine, drained

1 lemon, juiced (about 2 fl oz)
1/2 cup basil leaves, lightly packed

1/3 cup flat leaf parsley leaves, lightly packed
1/4 cup fresh dill, lightly packed

1/4 cup chives, roughly chopped
3 tbsp olive oil (1.5 fl oz)
1 tbsp honey (0.5 fl oz)

1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

Step 1: Add all ingredients to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Transfer the dip to a flat, wide bowl for serving.

Step 2: Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and season with freshly ground black pepper if you like. Serve chilled with an assortment of crudité and crackers.

Tips & Variations

For a thinner dip, add a splash of water or extra lemon juice while blending.
Swap out the basil for fresh cilantro or mint for a different herb flavor.

Use Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese for a tangier texture.

Storage

Store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving again. This dip is best enjoyed fresh but can be gently reheated to room temperature if preferred.

How to Serve

The image shows clear glass cups each filled with a creamy green herb dip at the bottom. The dip is topped with colorful fresh vegetables arranged like a small bouquet: a vertical purple radish slice with white and pink tones, bright green snap peas, a vertical green celery stick, yellow and red mini bell pepper slices, orange and purple carrot sticks, and small red cherry tomatoes. Each cup is decorated with a delicate violet edible flower placed near the vegetables. The cups are placed on white round coasters and a wooden board, all set on a white marbled surface. Green basil leaves and a few more violet flowers are scattered around as decoration. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
