Equipment
- food processor or blender
Ingredients
- 1 cup 4% milkfat cottage cheese
- ½ cup full-fat cream cheese softened
- ½ cup full-fat sour cream
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup diced tomatoes, drained and patted dry, Roma or cherry tomatoes work best
- 1 cup chopped lettuce, I like to use iceberg lettuce
- 6 slices cooked bacon, chopped
- Optional: green onions or scallions sliced
- Dippers and scoopers (toasted baguette slices, toast points, crackers, or fresh veggies
Instructions
- Blend the cottage cheese and softened cream cheese in a food processor until smooth.
- Add the sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Blend until well combined.
- Spread the creamy mixture onto a serving plate or shallow dish. Top with diced tomatoes, chopped lettuce, and crumbled bacon.
- If desired, sprinkle with sliced green onions for added flavor and color. Serve immediately with your choice of dippers.
Notes
Drain the diced tomatoes on paper towels to prevent excess moisture in the dip.
For the best texture and flavor, serve the dip immediately after adding the toppings.
Feel free to adjust the seasonings and ingredients to suit your preferences.
If you don't think you will eat all of this dip in one sitting, chop only enough lettuce and tomatoes and cook bacon for the portion you plan to serve. Then, you can store the dip without the topping in your fridge. When ready to serve it again, chop fresh lettuce and tomatoes and cook more bacon.
