Description

This Creamy Dill Pickle Cottage Cheese Dip is a tangy, flavorful, and protein-packed appetizer that’s perfect for parties, snacks, or a healthy accompaniment to crackers and veggies. Combining blended cottage cheese with dill pickles, creamy dijon mustard, and a hint of garlic, this easy-to-make dip offers a smooth and creamy texture with a zesty pickle kick.

Ingredients

Scale

Dip Base

  • 1 1/2 cups blended cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons pickle brine
  • 1 teaspoon creamy dijon mustard

Seasonings

  • 2 teaspoons dried dill
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to your liking

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup finely chopped dill pickles

Instructions

  1. Blend the Cottage Cheese: Place the cottage cheese in a blender and blend until smooth. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure the texture is creamy and consistent throughout. This step creates the smooth base for your dip.
  2. Prepare the Dill Pickles: Finely chop the dill pickles until you measure 1/2 cup. The small pieces will allow the pickle flavor to be evenly distributed in every bite of the dip.
  3. Combine Ingredients and Adjust Seasoning: In a bowl, mix together the blended cottage cheese, mayonnaise, pickle brine, creamy dijon mustard, dried dill, garlic powder, chopped pickles, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly to combine all flavors. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed, keeping in mind flavors intensify after chilling.
  4. Chill and Let Flavors Meld: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dip for at least an hour to allow all the flavors to meld and develop. Serve cold to enjoy the full flavor profile of this creamy dill pickle dip.

Notes

  • For a smoother dip, be sure to blend the cottage cheese thoroughly before mixing the other ingredients.
  • Adjust the amount of pickle brine to control the tanginess of the dip.
  • This dip is great served with fresh vegetables, crackers, or as a spread on sandwiches.
  • Make the dip a day ahead to allow deeper flavor infusion.
  • Use low-fat or fat-free cottage cheese and mayonnaise for a lighter version.
