Cottage Cheese Dip Ingredients

Cottage Cheese - I typically use Good Culture because I enjoy the tangier flavor, but you can use any brand you like.
Chives - fresh chives have a wonderful, bright onion flavor. You can substitute for 2 green onions if necessary.
Shallot - use one small shallot for some sharp onion flavor. You can leave this out if you don't want the recipe as oniony.
Fresh Herbs - I suggest using a blend of fresh parsley, basil, and dill. I think they provide a wonderful, complementary blend of flavors without being overpowering. However, you can get creative and substitute any soft herbs you enjoy, such as cilantro, tarragon, or mint.
Garlic - fresh garlic cloves add a tasty, aromatic flavor. They can be left out if you'd prefer, or you can add ¼ teaspoon garlic powder.
Lemon Juice - I highly recommend using freshly squeezed lemon juice for the brightest citrusy flavor!
Salt & Pepper - finally, you'll round out the dip with a little S&P to bring out the best flavors.

Notes

Make Ahead - the dip can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. I recommend removing it from the refrigerator 20 minutes before serving so it's not as chilly.

Storage - leftovers can be saved in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
