Cottage Cheese Vegetable Dip

I love to dip…my veggies…and so do my kids. In fact, I haven’t met a kid who doesn’t like to dip veggies and actually eat them. This is one of the easiest ways to get little ones to eat their vegetables. Add a bowl of dip and suddenly eating vegetables is fun and yummy. Typically we dip in hummus or tziki, our favourite dips…a little bit of garlic, smooth, thick and bright flavours. This spring I thought I would step outside of our usual dips and make a bright and healthy smooth cottage cheese dip for our veggies. Add a little garlic, chives and lemon and we have a winner – that the kids will happily eat.cottage cheese vegetable dip

Cottage Cheese Vegetable Dip

1/2 a tub of Nordica cottage cheese
1 garlic clove minced
1 tbsp chopped chives
1 tbsp chopped parsley 
1tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
salt and pepper
assorted dippable vegetables – carrot sticks, green beans, red pepper slices, cucumber slices, broccoli florets, snap peas, asparagus, etc.

cottage cheese vegetable dip ingredients1. Combine cottage cheese and garlic in a blender or food process – process until smooth.
2. If your children don’t like to see “things” in their food – add the chives and parsley to the blender and process. If your child is okay with seeing “things” in their food, pour the cheese and garlic mixture into a medium bowl.
3. Stir chopped chives and parsley into cheese mixture…if you didn’t process them previously.
4. Pour cheese and garlic mixture into a medium bowl and stir in olive oil and lemon juice.
5. Add salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve with sliced vegetables and dip away!cottage cheese garlic dip

Some recipes are too simple to be true…but they are true. With all the lovely fresh spring vegetables filling the farmers’ market stands, now is a great time to get dipping. What will you dip?
