Looking for a tasty and nutritious dip for your next party or snack? Look no further! This easy recipe for whipped cottage cheese dip is packed with protein and flavor, perfect for satisfying cravings without the guilt.

Whipped Cottage Cheese Dip for Veggies

This dip is originally called Spring Dip in my McCall’s Cook Book. Cottage cheese and cottage cheese dips are all the rage right now due to the high protein content and diets which are focused on higher amounts of protein. Who knew that McCall’s would have such a relevant recipe seeing how this book was published in 1963.

I’ve modified my version of their original recipe which makes it check all the boxes. This recipe is so versatile that you could toss any whatever raw veggies you have on hand.

Ingredients for Healthy Cottage Cheese Dip

The cool thing about this dip is that it can be eaten with veggies and it’s also full of chopped veggies. It’s a double whammy of vegetable intake. Say goodbye to guilt. Go ahead and eat a second helping.

• Cottage Cheese
• Raw Carrot
• Green Onions
• Bell Pepper
• Radishes
• Black Pepper
• Salt

The veggies are actually pulverized in the food processor so that you can see them, and they’re pretty but it’s almost like they aren’t even there.

How to Make Whipped Cottage Cottage Cheese dip for veggies

Step by Step Instructions

1. Pour cottage cheese into a high powered blender. Pulse or process until smooth or partially smooth, scraping down the bowl as needed.
2. Add carrots, green onions, bell pepper, and radishes, and process until the veggies are pulverized into small pieces.
3. Season with salt and pepper. Blend. Taste, and add more seasonings if needed.
4. Refrigerate until ready to serve. This cottage cheese dip tastes better if you let the flavors meld in the fridge for a few hours before serving.
5. Serve with raw veggies, pita chips, crackers, pretzels, bagel chips or as a spread on a sandwich or on toast for cottage cheese toast.

Recipe Variations

• The original recipe only chops up the veggies and does not pulverize the cottage cheese. You can leave the cottage cheese chunky if desired!
• If you want it creamier, add 1/4 cup heavy cream. This is what the original recipe calls for.
• Swap green onions for raw onion, if desired. Be careful, onion can easily overpower the flavors. A couple tablespoons would be sufficient.
• Any color bell pepper will do. Green bell pepper, red bell pepper, orange bell peppers, and yellow peppers would all work.
• Fresh herbs make this recipe super tasty including chives, fresh dill, fresh parsley, fresh basil, etc.
• Add different fresh veggies such as cucumber or celery!
• Feel free to add some onion powder or garlic powder for more flavor.
• Fresh lemon juice would be a lovely addition for some tang, or a spoonful of Greek yogurt would do the same.
• Give a drizzle of honey before serving.

Recipe FAQs

• If you don’t mind a chunkier texture, you don’t even have to use a food processor. Leave the cottage cheese as is, and then chop the vegetable finely and stir into the cottage cheese.
• Season to taste with salt and black pepper. I prefer freshly ground black pepper and Celtic Sea Salt.
• This tastes better if you let refrigerate for a bit before serving.
