I’ve had my own “secret” recipe for dip passed down through the family for generations. I love knowing I can bring it to any party, picnic or barbecue and it will be unique, a pleasant surprise, and gobbled down with guiltless pleasure.
I remember as a child learning how to make it from my great aunt as my mother watched in awe. Everyone liked it, including the kids! And it was easy to make from everyday things in the frig, so what more could you ask for?
It’s become our holiday and “dip night” favorite that readily competes with our beloved onion dip for first-one-gone. So, after much urging, I’ve agreed to share the recipe. It’s so good and tasty yet so healthy that every Mom and party goer will enjoy, because, believe it or not, the base is cottage cheese, but with a delightful flair!
It’s best to use high quality ingredients to ensure it is full flavored and creamy, so go the distance and use top brands for the cottage cheese and mayo. And of course, in the heat and outdoors, as with all dips, be sure to cover with a good lid like our Silicone Lids that will block the sun and bugs yet be easy to remove by guests.
I’m sure you will enjoy it and hope you find yourself making it often. After all, who can feel guilty? It’s only a scrumptious twist on our healthy, high protein cottage cheese – sort of a “pretend” junk food!
