I made half of a batch. Only ingredient I changed was I used granulated garlic versus garlic salt to cut back on the salt. My husband and I both enjoyed it!!
I really did think this tasted good, especially with more cayenne pepper. I didn’t think the cottage cheese added anything flavor wise. My husband wouldn’t try it because he hates cottage cheese.
Addicting. Great flavor and great with bell peppers!!!! Cottage cheese through me off at first but I loved the blue cheese texture of this dip!
Good base for a dip, except I omitted the cottage cheese and used almost 2 teaspoons of cayenne. It gave it a perfect kick without it being too much. It’s a staple I make for parties with sliced veggies.
So addicted to this ranch dip……thought the cottage cheese would ruin it but it made it better!!
This dip was fantastic! Do not omit the cottage cheese. I was concerned about the texture so I blended it smooth. Another reviewer pointed out that the recipe calls for packaged ranch-style DRESSING mix not the much saltier ranch DIP mix. That may be why some thought it too salty. Also, I used garlic powder instead of garlic salt.
Made exactly as the recipe said. Very thick but a hit! Everyone liked it
Perfect as is. Don’t omit the cottage cheese. It gives it body and nobody knows it is in there.
I love this! I made it for a birthday party and it was well liked. I served with chips and veggies – it went well with both. The flavor was great and not to spicy with the cayenne, it was just right. I will definitely make this again!
I cut this recipe in half. I used SD’s dry ranch dressing mix (which is also from this site), reduced fat mayonnaise, reduced fat sour cream and “Trim” cottage cheese. Because there was garlic/onion powder in the dry ranch dressing mix, I did not add the extra garlic salt or onion powder. We thought this was quite good. I liked using the cottage cheese as it was little change up from the usual nonfat plain yogurt that I usually use in my homemade lowfat ranch dip. NOTE: I did run the cottage cheese through the blender as I have three boys who have issues with chunky cottage cheese dip and it sailed right past them.
I halved all the ingredients because I didn’t want that much dip… but right after mixing it up, I scooped up a big bite with a chip and it was delicious! I can’t wait to try it later after it has chilled and the flavors have had time to mingle. I really like the added texture from the cottage cheese. Great recipe!
I love this dip and I have been making it for a long time. My suggestion is to make sure that you are using the ranch “dressing” mix and not the ranch “dip” mix. I also puree the dip because I like a more smoothe consistency. That is just a personal preference and will differ person to person. This is great with chips and veggies and anything else that someone may want to dip into ranch dip!
Great dip! I added about a cup of shredded cheese, very good!
Very good dip. I pureed the cottage cheese in the blender for a smoother dip.
Warning: This makes a ton of dip and is addictive. The cottage cheese gives it a texture that is sooooo yummy (think chunks in bleu cheese dressing). I used the big container of cottage cheese 1 lb 8 oz because 8 oz was not enough. I also used a heap of the dip in mashed potatoes, very garliky and good. I used garlic powder in leiu of the garlic salt. I was worried about too much salt with the dry ranch dressing being so salty. I can’t wait to make it again.
This was just okay. Hardly anyone ate it at my party.
This dip is the best bring-along dip ever. I’ve used it twice now: for bible study and for work. I found myself without cayenne pepper tonight but it works even without the kick.
This was ok, but very “ranch-y” tasting. I should have followed others advice and cut back on the ranch dressing mix, but I wanted to follow it exactly the first time and see. People liked it ok, but didn’t love it, and I had a lot leftover. I’ll cut the amt in half next time, and half again for the ranch. Cottage cheese was interesting, I used small curd and it wasn’t too chunky.
wonderful. love it with what thins.
SUPER easy to make and very tasty. I can’t stop munching on it. I didn’t change a thing.
I made this for the Super Bowl party I went to tonight and everyone really liked it! It’s like regular ranch dip with a kick!
