High Protein Pickle Dip

This dip is what happens when you’re trying to eat more protein but also... just really want to eat an alarming number of pickles. Cottage cheese (yes, the one everyone despised until TikTok gave it a rebrand) and cream cheese team up for a creamy base that feels suspiciously indulgent for something technically healthy. Then we throw in crunchy gherkins—because we have taste—and season it with garlic powder, salt, and a drizzle of good-quality olive oil, because we’re classy like that.

Directions:

1. Add cottage cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, and 1 tablespoon of good quality olive oil to a bowl and mix (run everything through a blender first if you prefer a smooth dip)

2. Chop as many CRUNCHY Dill Gherkin spears as your heart desires and mix into the cheesy mixture

3. Mix in the chopped dill (or dill weed)

4. Drizzle with good quality olive oil and fried onions

5. Serve this with crisps, veggies, crackers, or straight off a spoon

And the best part? It’s packed with protein, which means you can eat the whole bowl and smugly tell people it was a “post-gym snack.” (Even if the only reps you’ve done today were with a cracker.)
