Ingredients

Dressing Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (low fat preferred)
  • ¼ cup milk (low fat)
  • 2½ teaspoons lemon juice (or 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar)
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
  • ½ teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
  • Ground black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Blend Cottage Cheese and Milk: Using a small blender or an immersion blender inside a mason jar, blend the cottage cheese and milk until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps.
  2. Add Seasonings: Add the lemon juice (or apple cider vinegar), dried dill weed, dried parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, and ground black pepper to the blender.
  3. Blend Again: Blend all the ingredients together again until the seasoning is fully incorporated and the dressing is smooth.
