Instructions
Add the chickpeas, cottage cheese, yogurt, feta, garlic, lemon juice, cumin, and pepper into a blender or food processor.
Blend until mostly smooth.
Stir in the chopped dried tomatoes afterward for texture, or blend them in if you want the dip fully pink/creamy.
Taste and adjust:
more feta/salt → saltier
more yogurt → creamier
more lemon → fresher
chili flakes → more kick
Drizzle with a little olive oil and top with extra feta or paprika if you like.
Great with
roasted potatoes
broccoli or cauliflower
toasted bread
wraps
carrot/celery sticks
pumpkin wedges
Extra Protein Tip
If you want it even higher protein:
add more cottage cheese
or blend in 2–3 tbsp red lentils that were cooked until soft
