The method
Step by step
- 1
Place the cottage cheese, skim milk, vegetable bouillon powder, garlic powder, and onion powder into a blender.
About 1 min

- 2
Blend on high for 30 to 60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth.
About 1 min
- 3
Pause the blender and use a spatula to scrape down the sides, then blend for another 10 seconds to incorporate any remaining bits.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: This step ensures there are no small lumps of cottage cheese left.
- 4
Add the fresh chives and black pepper, and pulse a few times just to combine.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Avoid over-blending at this stage to keep a little texture from the chives.
- 5
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and serve immediately, or store in the refrigerator.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: This dip is excellent with crunchy vegetables like celery sticks, bell pepper strips, and cucumber slices.
