Nothing makes my mouth water more than cottage cheese dip! Dips are my guilty pleasure, so when I figured out how to make one of my favorite dips, cottage cheese dip, healthier, I was over the moon!
Dips have the magical ability to transform something bland and dry into a flavorful snack. This cream cheese dip is everything I love -- creamy, cheesy and a great onion flavor!
For all you other dip fiends out there, I recommend trying our Million Dollar Dip, Easy Fruit Dip or Slow Cooker Queso. We love this Mexican Street Corn Dip as well.
What is this dip made out of?
This dip is a mixture of cottage cheese, garlic, onion, chives, dill, and mayo. Sounds good so far, right?

Is Cottage
Cheese Dip Healthy?
I find that people either love or hate cottage cheese dip. Personally, I love it!
I have been a huge fan ever since I discovered it and my affection for this healthy dip has only grown over the years.
Cottage cheese dip is not only super tasty, it’s incredibly healthy and is largely regarded as a diet food.
For every 4 ounce serving, there are 14 grams of protein and so long as it’s made with lowfat or nonfat ingredients, it’s low in calories too. Who says you can’t have your dip and eat it!?
