Making this dip and bringing it to potluck dinners with some vegetables, like carrots and broccoli, is a terrific idea.

5.8.20 I consider this a guilt-free dip, and most importantly, a delicious one! No mayo, instead, cottage cheese (I used low-fat), plain yogurt, and it’s so easy to make. I wanted the cheese really incorporated into the dip, so I used my microplane zester rather than using shredded cheddar. The submitted says “blend,” but doesn’t say how or what to use to blend. I scaled the recipe down today and used my mini blender/chopper that came with my Cuisinart immersion blender, and it produced a really creamy texture. I added some salt and freshly-ground black pepper, and gave it an extra little squeeze of lemon to amp up the flavor just a bit. This recipe was a surprise, a very good surprise, and I think I’ll be making this one often.
I made it just as the recipe said, but I added some onion powder to it. That gave it that extra flavor it was missing!
I used Trim Cottage Cheese and a good amount of dill weed. I wanted a more smooth consistancy for my dip–I ran the cottage cheese through the blender before folding in the other ingredients. You know, I really liked this dip and it surprized me that the family did, too. They couldn’t even tell it was made with cottage cheese!
I did not care for this much.
I used a lot of dill weed on top, and it was excellent with crackers — any kind. Simple, but good 🙂
A little bland and I did not like the texture. My guest liked it, I probaly will not make it again.
I used cream cheese and it worked quite well.
This was nice and very simple, but just a little bit bland. It could use a little pepper!
This recipe was so simple and delicious. It was a great alternative to regular dill dips or ranch dips. I put it in the blender to make it extra smooth. I served this with fresh veggies, and the gang loved it!
This is really good, but I think you need to serve it with really flavorful crackers, or it could be a little bland. Good though, I love dill. Don’t put in too much garlic powder by mistake, like me! MMmmmmm
