Cottage Cheese Ranch Dip

Party dips don’t have to be heavy to be delicious. This Cottage Cheese Ranch Dip is creamy, light, and packed with protein thanks to cottage cheese. With just three ingredients and a quick whirl in the blender, you have a healthier ranch dip that pairs perfectly with crisp veggies, crackers, or chips. It’s the kind of recipe that makes snack time feel fun without any fuss.

Trust me when I tell you that carrots, celery, or pretzels taste delicious when dipped in this dip. It’s quick, easy, and a must-try recipe. 

Ingredients and Estimated Cost:

Recipe Cost: $2.59
Per Serving Cost: $0.25

You only need three ingredients to make this dip.

  • 16 oz small curd cottage cheese – This adds protein, making the dip more filling than others. You can use cottage cheese with larger curds if you do not mind a slightly lumpy texture.
  • 1 ounce ranch seasoning packet – Gives the classic ranch flavor in one easy packet. You can make your own ranch seasoning instead of using a packet. 
  • 4 Tablespoons milk – Thins out the dip and helps to keep the dip creamy. Use any milk of your choosing.

NOTE: The recipe prices are calculated by using grocery store websites. The actual cost of the recipe will vary depending on what ingredients you already have.

Ranch Dip With Cottage Cheese FAQs

Can I make this dip ahead of time?

Yes, this is a great make-ahead recipe. Let it sit in the fridge for up to an hour before serving.

Can I add extra flavorings?

Sure. Try adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, or garnish with some fresh chives or parsley.

Can I adjust the consistency?

Use the milk to thin the consistency of the dip. Or add a bit more cottage cheese if you need to thicken the dip.
