Cottage cheese has recently become a popular base for quick, protein-rich dips and spreads. By briefly blending cottage cheese you get a creamy, smooth texture that pairs perfectly with herbs, spices and toppings. The result is a light dip full of flavor that can be on the table in just a few minutes.
In this article we show how you can easily create new flavors with three different worldly spice blends. A good spice blend instantly adds a lot of character to a dish, without needing extra salt, sugar or fat.
We combine whipped cottage cheese with three flavor profiles:
-
Za’atar – fresh and herby with a Middle Eastern twist
-
Cajun – smoky and mildly spicy
-
Ras el Hanout – warm and aromatic with a subtle sweet touch
Perfect for a snack board, as a dip with vegetables or as a spread on toasted bread.
