Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 cup cucumber, diced
- 1/4 cup carrot, grated
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the cottage cheese in a medium mixing bowl, ensuring it's at cool room temperature for optimal blending.
- Wash and prepare all fresh vegetables: dice the bell pepper into small, uniform cubes, finely dice the cucumber, and grate the carrot using a box grater or food processor.
- Carefully chop the fresh dill, releasing its aromatic oils by using a sharp knife and cutting on a clean cutting board.
- Add the diced bell pepper, cucumber, and grated carrot directly into the cottage cheese, stirring gently to distribute the vegetables evenly.
- Sprinkle the chopped fresh dill over the mixture, incorporating it thoroughly with a silicone spatula or spoon.
- Season the dip with salt and freshly ground black pepper, tasting and adjusting the seasoning as needed.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and chill.
- Before serving, give the dip a final gentle stir and transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with additional fresh dill if desired.
- Serve chilled with fresh vegetable sticks, crackers, or as a spread for sandwiches and wraps.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Use cottage cheese at cool room temperature for the smoothest texture and best blending.
- Vegetable Prep is Key: Cut vegetables into uniform, small pieces to ensure even distribution and a consistent texture.
- Fresh Herbs Make a Difference: Use freshly chopped dill for maximum flavor and aroma.
- Chill for Maximum Flavor: Let the dip rest in the refrigerator for at least 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to meld together.
- Customize Your Dip: Feel free to experiment with additional herbs like chives or parsley, or add a dash of garlic powder for extra zing.
- Storage Tip: This dip stays fresh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair with crisp vegetable sticks, whole grain crackers, or use as a spread for wraps and sandwiches.
