Recipe Story

This cottage cheese recipe was born out of pure “I need something fast” energy. I had salmon in the air fryer and zero desire to whisk or cook anything. I grabbed my cottage cheese, tossed in lemon, dill, garlic, and blitzed. And wow. It turned into the creamiest, zestiest sauce I’ve made all week. I’ve since poured it over fish, swirled it into egg bowls, and even used it as a dip for low-carb crackers and fresh veggies.

This is how you turn full-fat cottage cheese into something exciting and delicious.

Ingredients

• Cottage cheese
• Lemon juice
• Lemon zest
• Dijon mustard

Instructions

• Blend until smooth and creamy – about 30–45 seconds.
• Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
• Serve immediately or chill for 10 minutes to thicken.

Recipe Tips

• Use full-fat cottage cheese for the best creamy texture.
• Blend until smooth – don’t stop too early, give it that whipped finish.
• A splash of olive oil can make it silkier if your cottage cheese is too thick.
• Add lemon zest at the end for a brighter, fresh flavor burst.
