Ingredients

1.5 cups cottage cheese
1/3 cup buffalo sauce - or hot sauce
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Add all of the ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
1.5 cups cottage cheese, 1/3 cup buffalo sauce, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Serve immediately or chill in the fridge.

Notes

Use full-fat: Full-fat cottage cheese and Greek yogurt give the dip a creamier, richer texture.

Blender matters: A high-speed blender makes it ultra-smooth, but a food processor gives it a slightly thicker, rustic texture.

Flavor develops: Letting it chill for 30 minutes really deepens the flavor.

Double it: This disappears fast – you might want to double the batch if you're feeding more than two people.

Heat level: Not all buffalo sauces are created equal. Taste yours first and adjust to avoid accidental fire.

Make it yours: Add shredded chicken, blue cheese crumbles, or a swirl of ranch dressing for more flavor and texture.

Storage instructions

Fridge life: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Stir before serving: It may settle a bit – just give it a quick stir before digging in.

Meal prep tip: Portion into small containers for easy grab-and-go snacks or lunches.

Freezing not ideal: The texture gets weird after thawing – best to enjoy it fresh.
