Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by cutting the avocado in half. Carefully remove the pit and scoop out the flesh using a spoon. Transfer the avocado flesh to a bowl.
- Measure out 1 cup (230g) of low-fat cottage cheese and add it to the bowl with the avocado.
- Using a fork or a potato masher, gently mash the avocado until it reaches a consistency you prefer. It can be smooth or slightly chunky based on your liking.
- Add the cottage cheese to the mashed avocado. Stir gently to combine the two ingredients, ensuring that they are well mixed but not overly blended. Aim for a creamy mixture with some texture remaining.
- Sprinkle a pinch (1.8g) of red pepper spice over the mixture. Stir again to evenly distribute the spice throughout the avocado and cottage cheese mix.
- Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl. Optionally, garnish with a few extra dashes of red pepper spice on top for an added visual appeal and a bit more heat.
- Serve immediately as a dip with fresh vegetables, whole-grain crackers, or as a spread on toast. This dish is great as a nutritious snack or a light meal.
Tips:
- Choose a ripe avocado for the best texture and flavor. It should give slightly when gently squeezed.
- For a smoother texture, you can blend the cottage cheese and avocado together instead of mashing them.
- If you prefer more heat, feel free to increase the amount of red pepper spice according to your taste.
- To enhance the flavor, you can add a splash of lemon or lime juice to the mixture, which also helps to slow down the avocado browning.
- Balance the dish with additional toppings like chopped fresh herbs (e.g., cilantro or parsley), diced tomatoes, or a sprinkle of feta cheese.
