A bright, herb-packed crema with a smooth, tangy finish and a subtle jalapeño kick. High in protein and built for versatility! Dip it, drizzle it, or dress it.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (low sugar, Kirkland brand)

  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese (low sugar, small curd – Michigan Brand)

  • 1 medium jalapeño pepper

  • Juice of 1 lime

  • 1 handful fresh cilantro

  • Salt and pepper, to taste


Instructions Add all ingredients to a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.


To Use

  • Serve as a dip with fresh vegetables

  • Thin with a little water to create a vibrant salad dressing

Chef’s Note

Balance is everything, adjust lime for brightness, jalapeño for heat, and salt to bring it all together.
