Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 16 ounces (454 grams) low-fat cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) mayonnaise
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix (not the dip mix)
Instructions
- Blend cottage cheese, mayonnaise, and ranch dressing mix in a medium mixing bowl until smooth and uniform.
- Whisk ingredients vigorously to ensure complete integration of flavors and eliminate any lumpy texture.
- Seal the bowl with plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid and place in the refrigerator for a minimum of 30 minutes, allowing the seasonings to fully infuse and develop a more robust taste profile.
- Once chilled, remove from refrigerator and give a quick stir to redistribute the ingredients.
- Transfer to a serving dish and accompany with crisp raw vegetables or crunchy crackers for dipping.
Notes
- Blend cottage cheese until smooth for a silkier texture that mimics restaurant-style queso.
- Try different ranch seasoning brands to find your preferred flavor intensity.
- Add a splash of hot sauce or diced jalapeños for an extra kick of spiciness.
- Let the dip sit longer in the refrigerator for deeper, more developed flavor profiles.
