Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (2% or 4% for creamier texture)
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt or sour cream (optional, for extra tang)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (or 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar)
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill (or 1 tablespoon fresh, finely chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley (or 1 tablespoon fresh, finely chopped)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried chives (or 1 tablespoon fresh, finely chopped)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk or water (optional, to thin)

Instructions
 

  • Blend the base: Add cottage cheese, lemon juice, and Greek yogurt (if using) to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 20–30 seconds.
  • Add the ranch flavors: Sprinkle in dill, parsley, chives, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Pulse a few times to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Adjust the texture: For a thinner dip or dressing, blend in 1–2 tablespoons milk or water until it reaches your preferred consistency.
  • Rest for flavor: Let it sit for 10–15 minutes in the fridge. This helps the herbs bloom and the flavors meld.
  • Serve: Pair with carrots, cucumbers, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, celery, crackers, or use as a sandwich spread.
