Very nice and I bet tasty. I think I’m the only one in the family who likes cottage cheese. I’ll have to make a special dish just for me.

My go to dip is spinach and this looks so much better! I’ll definitely be sending this to my mom as well who will love it. She makes a lot of dips.

Oh, this is a really good idea! Sometimes I buy nonfat cottage cheese for a low-cal snack, but I usually add some seasoning to it. Chives, basil and pepper are great ideas for me, yum! Thanks!
