What You’ll Need

Ingredients for this simple avocado cottage cheese dip:

• Avocado: Provides creaminess and healthy fats.
• Cottage cheese: Whole-milk cottage cheese gives the creamiest result.
• Milk: A splash to reach your preferred consistency.
• Dried parsley: Adds a gentle herbal note.
• Onion powder & garlic powder: Build savory depth without chopping fresh aromatics.
• Salt: Adjust to taste to balance the dip.

See the recipe card below for precise quantities and full details.

Recipe Substitutions & Additions

• Milk: Any milk works—dairy or unsweetened non-dairy. Add more or less to achieve the texture you want.
• Herbs: Swap dried parsley for dried dill, chives, or basil for a different flavor profile. Fresh herbs can be used—use about three times the amount of fresh parsley if substituting for dried.
• Add-ins: For extra brightness, stir in a squeeze of lemon or lime juice. For heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.

Step-By-Step Instructions

STEP 1: Scoop the avocado flesh into a high-powered blender. Add cottage cheese, milk, dried parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt.

STEP 2: Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides if needed.

STEP 3: Taste and adjust seasoning. If you prefer a thinner dip, add a little more milk. Chill the dip for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld, then serve with vegetables, crackers, or pita chips.

Tips For Success

• Choose a ripe avocado for the best flavor and smooth texture.
• Start with a small amount of milk and add more until you reach the consistency you like. Use less milk for a spreadable consistency and a bit more for a thinner dip.
• Let the dip chill before serving—resting helps flavors develop and the texture settle.
