Step 2: Blend Until Smooth
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, mixed herbs, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Secure the lid and blend on high for 60-90 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth, creamy, and a vibrant, uniform green color. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.
3 Step 3: Emulsify and Season
With the blender running on low, slowly drizzle in the 15 mL of olive oil. This will make the dip extra silky and rich. Once the oil is incorporated, turn the blender off. Taste the dip and add more salt or pepper if desired.
4 Step 4: Garnish and Serve
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. For a professional finish, use the back of a spoon to create a swirl on top. Drizzle generously with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with extra finely chopped fresh herbs. Serve immediately with fresh vegetables, crackers, or use as a sandwich spread. For best results, chill for 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
