Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. A quick blend in the food processor will restore its creamy texture. Freezing is not recommended as the dip may become grainy once thawed. For a thicker dip, use less cottage cheese or add in a bit of Greek yogurt. Customize the flavor by adding hot sauce for a spicy kick. Always taste and adjust the seasoning based on your preferences before serving.
