Well the husband loves cottage cheese, so I figured I'd give this a shot. The recipe called for only 3 ingredients, but one of those ingredients is a Hidden Valley Ranch dressing seasoning packet. I knew there were ways to make those seasonings with what I had in the cupboard, so here is what I ended up doing:
I mixed together in a Ziploc bag:
- 2TBS Parsley Flakes
- 1tsp Basil
- 1tsp Onion Powder
- 1tsp Garlic Powder
I shook the bag to get the spices mixed thoroughly and put to the side. I used a mason jar, but this is simple enough to really just start in whatever container you'll be storing your ranch in. It'll save you a dish to wash.
In the mason jar I added:
- 1 Cup Cottage Cheese
- 1/4 Cup Skim Milk
- 1 TBS Ranch Spice Mixture
The recipe calls for this to be blended in a blender for 3 minutes. In an ideal world, I would own one of those. But since I don't, I just whisked away for about 10 minutes. I didn't really get rid of that curd texture I hate so much, but the taste is pretty good. I'm sure it would be amazing if we did have access to a blender. Hopefully this will encourage more veggie consumption for us. Atleast for this week.
