Directions
Step 1
In a food processor, combine the cottage cheese, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the food processor a few times to ensure everything is mixed evenly.
Step 3
If you prefer a smokier flavor, add the chipotle chili powder and blend again for a few seconds.
Step 4
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired.
Step 5
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle fresh parsley on top for garnish.
Step 6
Serve immediately with fresh vegetables, crackers, or chips, or refrigerate until ready to use. If chilling, bring the dip to room temperature before serving for the best flavor.
