Notes

Refrigerate Store any leftover cottage cheese dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days.

Make Ahead: This dip is great for making ahead! Prepare it a day in advance and let the flavors meld in the fridge before serving. If you’re added fresh veggies, keep them in a separate container and stir them into the dip right before serving to maintain their crunch.
