Ingredients
Instructions

- Add to one pint of Hellmann's mayonnaise and mix thoroughly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using full-fat cottage cheese. If you're looking to reduce the heat, you can skip the Tabasco sauce or use a milder hot sauce. Fresh herbs like dill or parsley can add a vibrant flavor. This dip can also be adapted with Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese for a tangy twist. Serve it with crackers or fresh veggies for a delightful appetizer.
Serving Suggestions
This dip is perfect for parties and pairs beautifully with vegetable sticks, chips, or even as a spread on sandwiches. For a fun twist, try serving it alongside Pecan Cheese Balls for a delightful appetizer platter. It also complements a light salad or can be enjoyed as a topping for baked potatoes.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. The flavors will deepen as it sits. To reheat, stir gently and allow it to come to room temperature before serving. If it thickens, you can mix in a little extra milk to reach your desired consistency.
