Ingredients

Scale

Base Dip

  • 24 ounces (623 g) cottage cheese
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • ⅓ cup taco seasoning
  • ¼ cup (57.5 g) sour cream

Vegetable Toppings

  • 1 romaine heart, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • ¼ cup green onions, diced
  • 1 medium jalapeno pepper, seeded, diced
  • 1 cup black olives, sliced

Cheese and Garnish

  • 1 cup (113 g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • ½ medium lime, squeezed

Instructions

  1. Blend the Base Dip: To a blender, add the cottage cheese, softened cream cheese, and taco seasoning. Blend until creamy and all ingredients are fully incorporated, creating a smooth and flavorful dip base.
  2. Spread the Mixture: Evenly spread the blended cottage cheese mixture onto a serving platter, forming the base layer of the dip.
  3. Add Sour Cream Layer: Spread the sour cream evenly over the top of the cottage cheese mixture to add creaminess and balance the spices.
  4. Layer the Vegetables: Arrange the sliced romaine lettuce as the first layer over the sour cream. Follow with diced tomato, green onions, diced jalapeno, and sliced black olives in separate layers for a colorful and textured presentation.
  5. Add Cheese and Lime: Sprinkle shredded sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the top layers. Drizzle freshly squeezed lime juice over all the toppings to add a tangy brightness.
  6. Serve: Serve the dip immediately with tortilla chips or your favorite dipping chips for a delicious appetizer.

Notes

  • You can add a thin layer of taco sauce on top of the cottage cheese blend before layering the veggies to intensify the taco flavor.
  • For a spicier kick, keep some jalapeno seeds or add a dash of hot sauce.
  • This dip is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours; add lime juice just before serving to keep it fresh.
  • Feel free to customize toppings according to your preferences or availability.
