- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned. Let them cool completely.
In a food processor, combine the cottage cheese, cooled walnuts, garlic clove, parsley, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the food processor to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice if needed.
