- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp paprika

- Blend the Cottage Cheese. Place the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor and blend until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no chunks unless desired.
- Add Flavors. Add the buffalo sauce, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the blender. Blend again until all ingredients are fully combined and the dip is smooth.
- Taste and Adjust. Taste the dip and add more buffalo sauce or seasonings if you prefer it spicier or more flavorful.
- Serve and Garnish. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped chives or cilantro if desired for a fresh touch.
- Enjoy. Serve immediately with fresh veggies, crackers, or use as a sandwich spread. This dip is also delicious eaten on its own.
Notes
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for creamier texture, or low-fat if you want fewer calories.
- Substitute Greek yogurt with sour cream for a richer flavor.
- Adjust buffalo sauce amount to control the heat level.
- Blend longer for extra smoothness or less for a chunkier texture.
- Keep refrigerated and consume within 2-3 days for best freshness.
