Ingredients
- For whipped cottage cheese:
- 1 cottage cheese 16 ounce container, low-fat
- 1 garlic clove, sliced or roughly chopped
- 1 lemon small, zested
- ¾ cup giardiniera Chicago-style, mild or hot, drained but do not rinse
- For topping:
- giardiniera extra 1/4 cup, do not drain the oil, for topping
- Parmesan Cheese optional, fresh grated
- parsley chopped fresh, or green onion
Instructions
- In the bowl of a food processor or to a high-powered blender, add the cottage cheese, garlic, and lemon zest, and blend on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute, use a blender tamper or a spatula to scrape down the sides and get things moving as necessary. Next add in giardiniera and blend again for another 30 seconds or so.
- Add to a shallow bowl and top with additional ¼ cup giardiniera and its oil. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top and some parmesan cheese, if desired.
- Serve as a dip with crackers (I love simple mills crackers with this!), triscuits, fresh cut vegetables or pita chips, on a sandwich, or spread on a slice of toasted sourdough with with fresh herbs on top. We love this to dip quesadillas in, too! This would also be amazing served with roasted or grilled chicken or even steak.
