INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup cottage cheese — The creamy high-protein dressing base.
  • 1 tablespoon Hidden Valley Ranch Dip Mix — For that good old ranch taste.
  • 2 –4 tablespoons water or milk optional – To thin the dressing to a consistency you prefer.

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Place the cottage cheese and the ranch seasoning packet in the bowl of a food processor.
  • Pulse until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, simply add a spoonful of milk or water to thin it. Repeat until you reach the desired consistency.
  • Serve the cottage cheese ranch dressing dip alongside vegetables and crackers.

NOTES

  • Blend for More Creaminess — If you want the cottage cheese to be ultra-creamy, blend for another 30 to 60 seconds or strain it before blending to remove any lumps.
  • Chill Out — And letting the dressing sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes gives the flavors a chance to meld for a tastier result.
  • Enhance the Taste — Make it your own by adding more seasoning such as fresh herbs, lemon juice, or a touch of hot sauce.
