Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt full fat
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 tbsp everything bagel seasoning
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder

  • 1 cucumber slices dippers
  • 1 carrots dippers
  • 1 pita chips dippers
  • 1 celery dippers

Equipment

  • 1 stand mixer

Method
 

Make the silky dip base
  1. Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth so there are no visible lumps.
  2. Mix the blended cottage cheese with Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, onion powder, and everything bagel seasoning until evenly combined.
  3. Fold in the chopped chives and dill, then taste and adjust with salt and pepper as needed.
Top and serve
  1. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, then scatter crispy chickpeas over the top.
  2. Add extra chives and finish with a drizzle of olive oil for a glossy, swirled look.
  3. Serve immediately with cucumber slices, carrots, pita chips, and celery, or refrigerate up to 3 days for deeper flavor.

Notes

Pro tip: fully blend the cottage cheese before mixing—any lumps can ruin the silky texture. For storage, cover and refrigerate up to 3 days; freeze is not recommended because the dairy texture can change. To make it dairy-light, swap in low-fat Greek yogurt and low-fat cottage cheese (texture stays creamy, protein stays high).
