Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat for creaminess, low-fat for fewer cals)
- 2 tbsp buffalo sauce (Frank’s RedHot or your favorite)
- 1 tbsp Greek yogurt (or sour cream for extra richness)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- Salt & pepper to taste
Optional Garnish
- Chopped chives or cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Blend the cottage cheese: Blitz the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor until smooth. No one wants chunky dip—unless you do, in which case, live your truth.
- Add remaining ingredients: Add buffalo sauce, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Blend again until fully combined. Taste and adjust heat level if needed.
- Garnish and serve: Transfer the dip to a bowl and garnish with chopped chives or cilantro if desired. Serve immediately with veggies, crackers, or use as a sandwich spread. Or enjoy it solo.
Notes
- For a creamier dip, use full-fat cottage cheese and sour cream instead of Greek yogurt.
- Adjust the buffalo sauce quantity to suit your preferred spice level.
- Try substituting smoked paprika for regular paprika for a subtle smoky flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- This dip pairs well with celery sticks, carrot sticks, pita chips, and whole grain crackers.
