High Protein Caprese Dip is a healthy appetizer or snack recipe made with cottage cheese, sun dried tomatoes, and pesto served with pita chips or veggies for dipping!

My newest obsession is using blended cottage cheese and other healthier ingredients to recreate some of my favorites that are guilt free, lower in calories, and packed with protein.

Start with two cups of cottage cheese in your blender or food processor.

Then add a little pesto, garlic, kosher salt, and pepper and juuuust a splash of milk to thin out the dip a little.
