- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Add the low sodium cottage cheese, unsweetened almond milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and lemon juice to a blender.
Blend the mixture on high speed until completely smooth and creamy. This may take about 1 to 2 minutes.
Transfer the blended mixture to a small saucepan.
Heat the sauce over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 3 to 5 minutes until it's warmed through. Be careful not to bring it to a boil as it could separate.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with freshly ground black pepper. Remember to keep it low sodium.
Remove from heat once the desired temperature is reached.
Serve immediately over pasta, vegetables, or as a dipping sauce.
Garnish with chopped fresh chives, if desired.
