Whipped Green Goddess Cottage Cheese Dip
The name may be long, but this dip is nothing short of fantastic! Whipping cottage cheese not only provides this tasty appetizer with a creamy, fluffy texture, but a boost of protein, too! The “green goddess” portion of the dip is courtesy of fresh herbs and zesty lemon. Member’s Mark™ Sea Salt is the perfect complement to this tangy, irresistible appetizer.
Why Try Whipped Cottage Cheese?
- High in protein: Helps make snacks, breakfasts, and meals more filling. Depending on the brand, ½ cup can provide roughly 12–15+ grams of protein.
- Good source of calcium: Supports bones and teeth.
- Lower in calories: It can provide a creamy texture without needing as much mayonnaise, cream cheese, or heavy cream.
- Versatile: Because whipping removes the curdy texture, it works well as a dip, spread, sauce, or dessert base.
- Creamy without being heavy: It has a light, fluffy consistency while still being substantial.
- Can replace higher-fat ingredients: Whipped cottage cheese can be used in recipes where you’d normally use ricotta, cream cheese, sour cream, or mayonnaise.
