Ranch Cottage Cheese Dip

"We’re just going to come right out and say it: cottage cheese rarely gets the credit it deserves. It’s a truly versatile bit of dairy, capable of providing protein, texture, and a certain cool creaminess to everything from pancakes to frittatas to pasta dishes. And on top of all of that, it also makes a fantastically flavorful dip, too! Just try Trader Joe’s Ranch Cottage Cheese Dip, and you’ll see exactly what we mean. It’s made with a base of Cottage Cheese, to which our supplier adds a bit of Greek style yogurt and buttermilk for a little extra tang, plus a blend of Ranch dressing-evoking herbs and seasonings for a savory, aromatic edge. Then, they whip it all up to an elegantly light and creamy consistency that’s ideal for scooping with your favorite cracker, chip, or crudité. Enjoy our Ranch Cottage Cheese Dip in any context that calls for dipping, dunking, or spreading: parties, picnics, cookouts, and even just spur-of-the-moment snack attacks. In addition to being excellent with a Pita Chip [sku 91053] or carrot stick, it also serves spectacularly well as a sandwich spread in place of mayo or classic ranch. And for an easy-yet-elegant breakfast treat, sub it in for ricotta on a slice of toasted European Grains & Seeds Bread, topped with a fried egg, a bit of Smoked Salmon, or sliced Persian Cucumbers."
