Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (small-curd recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Avocado: Slice the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Ensure the avocado is perfectly ripe for a creamy texture without being mushy.
  2. Add Cottage Cheese: Spoon in 1 cup of cottage cheese. For a smoother dip, you can use small-curd cottage cheese or briefly blend it if a uniform texture is preferred.
  3. Season and Flavor: Add 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir gently to combine while maintaining a slightly chunky texture.
  4. Mix and Garnish: Fold in chopped cilantro or your preferred fresh herbs just before serving to keep their color and flavor vibrant. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Notes

  • Choose ripe avocados that yield gently to pressure but are not mushy to ensure optimal creaminess.
  • If cottage cheese is watery, drain excess liquid before using to maintain a thick and creamy dip.
  • Use fresh lime juice instead of bottled for the freshest flavor and to prevent browning.
  • Do not overmix to keep some texture, which enhances the dip’s appeal.
  • Serve immediately for best freshness and vibrant avocado color.
