This creamy, protein-packed cottage cheese ranch dip turns two simple ingredients into an irresistible healthy snack that tastes just like your favorite ranch dressing but with fewer calories.
Add the cottage cheese to a blender or food processor bowl.
Sprinkle the entire packet of ranch seasoning mix over the cottage cheese.
Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes, stopping once halfway through to scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula. Continue blending until completely smooth with no visible cottage cheese curds.
Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the dip.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours to let the flavors meld.
Before serving, stir well and transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
