Equipment

  • High powered blender

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon salted butter
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup 2% cottage cheese 250g
  • block low fat cream cheese 85g
  • ½ cup plain greek yogurt 2% 112g
  • ½ cup pickle juice
  • 2 tablespoon fresh dill
  • 2 tablespoon fresh chives
  • ½ teaspoon each: garlic powder, onion powder, salt
  • ½ cup chopped dill pickles

Instructions

  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, then add the breadcrumbs once hot. Toast for 5 minutes until golden and crispy. Set aside.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients except the chopped pickles to a blender and blend until smooth. Gently fold in the chopped pickles and transfer to a serving bowl.
  • Top with the toasted breadcrumbs and more diced pickles. Enjoy dipped with tortilla chips, ruffle chips, or veggies!

Notes

  • I recommend not using non-fat cottage cheese and yogurt, as it can make the dish too watery.
  • Make ahead: You can mix the dip and place it in the dish the day before you want to serve it. Don't add the breadcrumbs until just before serving.
  • Storage: Leftover dip can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for 3 days. 
  • Freezing: I don't recommend freezing this dip.
