Ingredients You'll Need For The Marinade Topping:

How To Make Cottage Cheese Dip, Step-By-Step

  • Add the cottage cheese, feta cheese, and 1-2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil to the food processor.
    Extra Virgin Olive Oil Tasting Tip: Add one tablespoon of olive oil first, then taste test after blending. If you want more, then blend in another tablespoon. This is a personal taste preference. For example, I only added one tablespoon to my dip.
  • Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy (about one minute). Scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed and blend again.
  • Cut the baby tomatoes into quarters and add them to a separate bowl. Add the chopped basil, chopped chives, three tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper to the same bowl and mix. Allow the mixture to marinate for 20 minutes.
    Chopped Chives Tip: Add 1-2 tablespoons of chopped chives to the marinade. I added two tablespoons because I LOVE chives.
  • Now that the tomato mixture has marinated, it’s time to serve it up! Spoon the cottage cheese dip onto a plate platter and top with the tomato marinade. Lastly, I highly recommend drizzling a creamy balsamic glaze on top.
  • Serving Tip: Sea Salt Pita Crackers (linked in the "how to" step-by-step recipe in the body of the article) taste perfect with this Cottage Cheese Dip!
