Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cottage cheese
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
In a blender or food processor, add the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and olive oil.
Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
Add the fresh dill, minced garlic, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to the blender.
Pulse a few times until the dill and garlic are evenly distributed and the dressing is well combined. Avoid over-blending to preserve the texture of the herbs.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired.
Transfer the dressing to a serving jar or an airtight container.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve over a fresh green salad, as a drizzle for roasted vegetables, or as a dip for raw veggies.
