INSTRUCTIONS

If your plant-based cottage cheese is chunky, pulse it in a food processor for a few seconds for a smoother dip. Otherwise, add it directly to a mixing bowl.

Add minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.

Fold in the chopped dill, chives, and parsley. Mix until evenly distributed throughout the dip.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together. The dip tastes even better after a few hours.

Serve with an assortment of raw vegetables, crackers, or use as a spread on sandwiches and wraps. Keeps in the fridge for up to 5 days.

TROUBLESHOOTING

My cottage cheese recipes are too dry

Try adding 1-2 tablespoons more liquid (milk, yogurt, or egg whites). Also ensure you're not over-measuring the protein powder - use the scoop and level method.

They didn't rise properly

Check your baking powder is fresh (test by adding to hot water - it should bubble vigorously). Also, don't overmix the batter as this can deflate the air bubbles.

The texture is rubbery

This usually means too much protein powder or overbaking. Reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes and check doneness with a toothpick.
