Ingredients

1 (16 oz.) container cottage cheese We like Good Culture or Nancy’s cottage cheese brands — feel free to use low-fat or full-fat.
1 large ripe avocado peeled and seed removed
1 (15 oz.) can black beans drained and rinsed
1 (14 oz.) can corn drained
2 small tomatoes* chopped
1 jalapeño seeded and minced
3 to 4 green onions (green part only)** finely diced
2 teaspoon Sriracha sauce or other hot sauce more or less depending on preferred level of spice
1/2 to 1 teaspoon garlic salt*** taste and add a small amount at a time
salt to taste*** optional, you may not need additional salt
chopped cilantro optional to garnish

Instructions

Combine cottage cheese and avocado in a food processor until smooth. Alternatively, if you do not have a food processor or blender, you can combine the cottage cheese and mashed avocado in a medium bowl (it will just be a little extra chunky).
Transfer cottage cheese to medium bowl and add all other ingredients. Stir to combine.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if you'd like. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips and/or crackers. Also, tasty served with raw veggies and used as a salad topping. Enjoy!

Notes

*Can substitute with about 1 1/2 cups chopped grape or cherry tomatoes.

**Sub with chives if you'd like.

***Taste before salting. Some cottage cheese brands can be quite salty, so if you're sensitive to salt, taste and then add a small amount of garlic salt at a time. Same goes for adding any regular salt.

Store any leftover cottage cheese dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Remember to give it a good stir before enjoying it from the fridge.
