Instructions

Step 1: Blend the Cottage Cheese

Place the cottage cheese in a blender and blend until smooth. Be sure to scrape down the sides as needed to ensure a creamy texture throughout. This step is crucial for creating the smooth base of your dip.

Step 2: Prepare the Dill Pickles

Finely chop enough dill pickles to measure 1/2 cup. Make sure the pieces are small enough to distribute evenly throughout the dip, providing that tangy pickle flavor in every bite.

Step 3: Combine Ingredients and Adjust Seasoning

In a small bowl, combine the blended cottage cheese with the chopped dill pickles, mayonnaise, pickle brine, dried dill, garlic powder, Dijon mustard, and any other ingredients. Mix thoroughly.

Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning as necessary. Remember, the flavors will deepen as it sits, so slight adjustments now can make a big difference later.

Step 4: Chill and Let Flavors Meld

Place the dip in the fridge and chill for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld together. For the best flavor, prepare this dip in advance.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Serve the dip cold with chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables. Enjoy the tangy, creamy goodness of this flavorful dip!

Notes

Make-Ahead: This dip is perfect for making ahead. The flavors develop more after a few hours in the fridge.

Adjust the Texture: If you prefer a thicker dip, reduce the amount of pickle brine or add a bit more cottage cheese.

Customize: Feel free to add other ingredients like chopped green onions or a bit of hot sauce for extra flavor!
