In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and chevre. Use a fork or whisk to blend them together until smooth and creamy. For an even smoother texture, you can use a food processor.
Add the chopped parsley, chives, and dill to the cheese mixture. Stir gently to combine.
In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice, olive oil, and minced garlic. Pour this mixture into the bowl with the cheese and herbs.
Sprinkle in the sea salt and ground black pepper, and mix all ingredients thoroughly until well-combined.
Taste the spread and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Transfer the herbed cottage cheese chevre spread to a serving dish. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
Serve immediately with crackers, toasted bread, vegetable sticks, or crostini. Alternatively, cover and refrigerate to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
