Seeds-Walnut Cottage Cheese Spread/Dip
About:
This creamy dip is packed with flavour and a great substitute for sour creams. It makes a wonderful snack when paired with veggies, Crackers or spread for wraps and as a topping for baked potatoes!
Substituting cottage cheese for sour cream reduces that fat content and adds a ton of protein to a meal.
I like to sneak in vegetables and healthy proteins any chance I get and this recipe sis one among them.
