Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ripe avocado (soft and buttery)
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Red pepper flakes, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Avocado: Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. The ripeness is key to achieving the creamy texture everyone loves in this dip.
  2. Add Cottage Cheese and Lime Juice: Measure out the cottage cheese and add it to the avocado. Pour in fresh lime juice to brighten the flavors and prevent browning of the avocado.
  3. Blend or Mash: Using a fork or an immersion blender, mix the avocado and cottage cheese until you reach your desired consistency—chunky for texture or smooth for a silky dip.
  4. Season and Add Extras: Stir in minced garlic, salt, pepper, and any optional ingredients like chopped cilantro or red pepper flakes. Taste and adjust seasoning for the perfect balance.
  5. Chill and Serve: Place the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve chilled with your favorite dippers like veggies, pita chips, or crackers.

Notes

  • Use slightly soft avocados for optimal creaminess.
  • Always use fresh lime juice instead of bottled for best flavor.
  • Season gradually with salt and spices to avoid overpowering.
  • Pulse gently if blending to maintain some chunkiness.
  • Place plastic wrap directly on the dip surface when storing to minimize browning.
  • Consume within 2 days for best freshness and taste.
  • Freezing is not recommended as texture changes negatively.
