RECIPE:

Serving: 4

Prep: 45 mins

Total 4 hrs

Ingredients:

1 cup low-fat cottage cheese

1 whole garlic bulb (medium to large size)

2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (optional)

2 tablespoons olive oil (add the olive oil from roasted garlic and top up with fresh olive oil)

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon lemon juice (add up to 1 tbsp if you like it citrusy)

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

¼ – ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1-2 tsp fresh parsley (or chives)

Directions:

Roast the Garlic

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Cut off the top of the garlic bulb to expose the cloves, and place it in a small oven-safe pot with a lid, or wrap it in foil.

3. Drizzle the exposed garlic with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and a pinch of salt.

4. Cover with the lid or wrap tightly with foil and roast for 35-45 minutes or until the garlic cloves are soft and caramelized.

5. Let the garlic cool.

2. Prepare the Dip

1. In a blender or food processor, add the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt (if using), Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and onion powder.

2. Blend until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure a smooth consistency.

3. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins along with the olive oil and add them to the blender.

4. Blend again until the mixture is creamy. Add your parsley and pulse a few times to mix it in.

5. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. For best results, refrigerate the dip for at least 3 hours to allow the flavors to develop.
