Why this works
A protein-rich, relatively low-calorie dip with moderate saturated fat and sodium, best enjoyed in sensible portions.
Protein from dairy. Greek yoghurt and cottage cheese provide a useful amount of protein, supporting satiety and muscle maintenance.
Calcium source. Cheddar, yoghurt and cottage cheese contribute calcium for bone health.
Sodium caution. Cheddar, cottage cheese, salsa and added salt can push sodium up, so this dip may be less suitable for low-salt diets.
Method
- Stir together the Greek yoghurt and cottage cheese until mostly smooth.
- Mix in grated cheddar, salt and black pepper.
- Spoon into a serving bowl and swirl hot salsa over the top.
- Serve immediately with vegetable sticks or crackers, if available.
- Chill for 15 minutes first if you want a firmer dip.
