Chef's Note

For the creamiest texture, make sure to blend the cottage cheese thoroughly before adding other ingredients. If you prefer a thicker dip, strain the cottage cheese through a fine-mesh sieve for 30 minutes before blending. This removes excess moisture and creates a richer consistency. You can prepare this a day ahead and store it in an airtight container for a quick grab-and-go snack.

Instructions
  • 1

    Wash 4 large celery stalks thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels.
