Ingredients

For The Whipped Feta

  • 1 ½ cups cottage cheese fat-free, low-fat, or full-fat
  • 1/3 cup light feta cheese
  • 1 small garlic clove
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 pinch salt

For The Toppings

  • 1/4 cup chopped English or Persian cucumber
  • 1/3 cup cherry tomatoes sliced
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 3-4 large basil leaves chopped
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch pepper

Instructions

  • Add the cottage cheese, light feta cheese, garlic clove, lemon juice, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt to a food processor.
  • Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  • Transfer the whipped feta mixture to a shallow serving bowl and use the back of a spoon to create a small well in the center.
  • In a small bowl, combine the chopped cucumber, sliced cherry tomatoes, olive oil, chopped basil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
  • Spoon the cucumber and tomato mixture into the center of the whipped feta. Serve immediately with pita chips, toasted bread, or fresh veggies.

Notes

  • Pro Tip: When whipping the feta and cottage cheese, add 1-2 ice cubes to the food processor. This simple hack makes the dip extra creamy and light. Trust me, it makes all the difference!
  • Feta Cheese Options: You can use regular feta instead of light feta, or add a little extra for a bolder, saltier flavor.
  • Cottage Cheese: Any cottage cheese works in this recipe, whether it’s fat-free, low-fat, or full-fat.
  • Small Garlic Clove: Use one small garlic clove to avoid overpowering the dip.
  • Storage: Store leftover whipped feta dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
