Last month I shared a fun and healthy breakfast recipe using cottage cheese, today I’m excited to bring you an amazing party dip for easy entertaining. Feast your eyes on this!

Are you drooling yet?

This Mediterranean-inspired party dip is delicious, and with cottage cheese as the base, it’s healthy too. All you need is a 16-ounce container of cottage cheese, fresh parsley, a bunch of scallions, a container of grape tomatoes, and a package of crumbled Feta cheese.

Then you go to the Olive Bar at your grocery store and pick up an assortment of olives, marinated artichokes, and roasted red peppers. Greek Seasoning is great if you have it, or you can make your own with the herbs and spices in your kitchen. (Google is your friend.) 

This dip whips up in less than 15 minutes, and there’s no cooking required. You can make it right before you want to serve it or up to three hours ahead of time. Vibrant, full of flavor, and actually good for you, this is the perfect dip to serve with a bowl of crispy pita chips or a plate raw veggies.

This is the perfect dish to bring to your next party or to serve as an appetizer at a casual get together, but it won’t last long. You might even want to double the recipe.

Here’s the recipe for this Mediterranean Party Dip. If you try it, please let me know how you like it!
