Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier consistency, consider blending the cottage cheese before mixing. You can substitute Greek yogurt for buttermilk if you need a thicker dip. To brighten the flavor, add fresh herbs like dill or chives. This dip can also be enhanced with spices such as garlic powder or smoked paprika for additional depth.
