This cucumber cottage cheese dip is cold, creamy, and easy to make when you need a quick, high protein snack, a light lunch add-on, or an easy dip for a BBQ or summer spread. The cucumber and dill keep it light and fresh, while the blended cottage cheese makes it smooth, creamy, and high in protein. I usually make this high protein cottage cheese dip for chips, crackers, or cut vegetables, but I also love using it as a cold sauce for grilled meats or salmon.

Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

In a food processor or blender, combine the cottage cheese, lemon juice, olive oil, fresh dill, garlic powder, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Finely grate the cucumber, then squeeze out as much excess water as you can using a paper towel or clean kitchen towel.
Transfer the blended mixture into a medium bowl, fold in the cucumber, and give it a good stir.
Serve straight away, or chill for a few minutes first if you want the flavour to settle a bit more. Enjoy with chips, crackers, fresh veggies, or as a cold sauce for grilled meats or salmon.

Notes

Squeeze the cucumber well so the dip stays thick and creamy, not watery. Chill for 5 to 10 minutes before serving if you want the flavour to settle a bit more. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and stir before serving. No blender or food processor? Mash the cottage cheese well with a fork for a more textured dip. Serve with 1-Ingredient Parmesan Cheese Chips, Nacho Cottage Cheese Chips, or Parmesan Crusted Salmon.
