Steps
- 1Add cottage cheese, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper to a blender or food processor.
- 2Blend until smooth, stopping once to scrape the sides. Do not add the herbs yet if you want visible green flecks.
- 3Add water 1 teaspoon at a time until the dip is thick but scoopable. It should sit on a chip or vegetable instead of running off.
- 4Stir in the dill or parsley by hand. Taste and adjust the lemon, salt, or pepper.
- 5Chill for 10 minutes before serving. The garlic becomes less sharp and the dip thickens as it cools.
- 6Serve with potato griddle buns, vegetables, or as a sandwich spread. Refrigerate leftovers and use within 3 days.
Grit & Soul tip
Blend the cottage cheese smooth first, then fold in herbs. That keeps the dip creamy and gives it a fresh, visible finish.

The memory belongs below the recipe.
A good low-fat dip should not taste like a punishment. Lemon, garlic, and herbs give this one a reason to disappear from the table.
Grit & Soul keeps the cooking directions easy to reach first. The story still matters, but it should never make someone scroll forever before they can cook.
