Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by peeling the cucumber. Once peeled, cut it in half lengthwise and remove the seeds using a spoon. Grate the cucumber finely and set it aside. If the cucumber is particularly watery, you can squeeze out some of the excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the low-fat cottage cheese, horseradish, dill, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Gently fold the grated cucumber into the cottage cheese mixture. Make sure the cucumber is evenly distributed throughout the dip.
- Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add a bit more salt, pepper, or horseradish depending on your preference.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Once chilled, give the dip a good stir and serve it with your favorite crackers, chips, or fresh vegetables. This dip also works wonderfully as a spread for sandwiches or wraps.
Tips:
- For a smoother dip, blend the cottage cheese in a food processor before adding the other ingredients.
- Allow the dip to chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour to let the flavors meld together.
- To adjust the heat level, you can increase or decrease the amount of horseradish according to your preference.
- Garnish with additional fresh dill or a sprinkle of lemon zest for an extra burst of flavor and visual appeal.
- Serve the dip with a variety of dippable options like fresh vegetables, pita chips, or whole grain crackers for a delightful experience.
This Horseradish Dill Cucumber Dip brings together the best of creamy, tangy, and fresh flavors in one delightful dish. Easy to make and packed with taste, it's a versatile addition to your culinary repertoire. Enjoy it chilled and savor the refreshing combination of ingredients with every bite.
