This high protein ranch pairs well with chopped chicken ranch salad.

Ingredients 

  • 1 tub cottage cheese (16 oz)
  • ⅓ cup skim milk or buttermilk
  • 1 tbsp ranch seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1–1¼ tsp kosher salt (start with less and add more to taste)
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • ½-1 tsp white wine vinegar

Finish

  • 1½-2 tbsp fresh dill very finely chopped
  • 1½-2 tbsp fresh chives very finely chopped

Directions 

  • Add the cottage cheese, milk or buttermilk, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and white wine vinegar to a high-speed blender.
  • Blend until completely smooth, thick, and glossy, scraping down the sides once if needed.
  • If the ranch is thicker than you’d like, thin with additional milk or buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.
  • Transfer to a jar or bowl and stir in the fresh dill and chives. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
