Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup pickles, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons pickle juice
  • 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Garnish

  • Olive oil
  • Additional chopped pickles
  • Chopped chives
  • Black pepper

Instructions

  1. Whip the Cottage Cheese: Place 1 cup of cottage cheese into a small food processor and pulse until smooth and creamy. This creates a light base for the dip.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Transfer the whipped cottage cheese to a mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup chopped pickles, 2 tablespoons pickle juice, 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir thoroughly with a spoon or rubber spatula until well combined.
  3. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the mixture and adjust salt or vinegar according to preference to balance tanginess and flavor.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle additional chopped pickles, chopped chives, and freshly ground black pepper on top for color and extra zest. Serve immediately with crackers or fresh vegetable sticks such as cucumber, celery, carrots, or sliced bell peppers.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, strain the cottage cheese beforehand to remove excess liquid.
  • Use dill pickles for a classic flavor; bread and butter pickles can add sweetness if preferred.
  • Adjust vinegar and pickle juice quantities to balance acidity to your taste.
  • This dip is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
  • Try serving it chilled for a more refreshing experience.
