How to Make Festive Skinny Dip

  1. Combine 16 ounces of cottage cheese, 8 ounces of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, and 2 cloves of minced garlic in a blender.
  2. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a medium-sized bowl.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon of your favorite herbs (dill, chives, or oregano work well), 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least two hours to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, refrigerate overnight.
  6. The dip can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  7. Serve with an array of fresh vegetables, mini-pitas, bagel thins, or melba toast.
  8. **Variations:** For a seafood twist, add 1/2 cup of coarsely chopped canned clams, crab meat, or cooked shrimp to the base recipe after blending.
  9. **Cucumber Variation:** Add 1 cup of coarsely grated cucumber. Press the grated cucumber in a sieve to remove excess moisture before adding it to the dip.
