Protein Ranch Dip

For when you want to munch veggies with something creamy:

½ cup Greek yogurt

½ cup cottage cheese (blended or well-stirred)

¼ tsp garlic powder (or more to taste)

¼ tsp onion powder

½ tsp dried dill (plus ¼ tsp parsley or chives if you have them)

Pinch of black pepper

Optional splash of lemon juice or vinegar for brightness

Tips:

Blend or process if needed to smooth out the cottage cheese — that creamy texture is key 

Adjust consistency by adding a splash of water, milk, or buttermilk if it's too thic

Boost flavor with a pinch of parsley, chives, or a touch of salt if needed.

I added a bunch of garlic to half of it and some water and poured it over a salad with chicken, it's very versatile.

Let it chill for 30 minutes to meld flavors—makes a big difference in taste depth.
