Ingredient Notes
- Low Fat Cottage Cheese (I used 2%)
- Low Fat Plain Greek Yogurt (make sure it’s plain and not vanilla!)
- 1 packet of Dry Ranch Dressing Mix
How to make 3 Ingredient Cottage Cheese Ranch Vegetable Dip
- In a blender, combine the cottage cheese and Greek yogurt; blend until smooth.
- Pour contents into a large bowl and fold in dry ranch dressing packet. Mix until completely incorporated.
- Serve with your favorite fresh vegetables (such as carrot sticks, celery sticks, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, bell pepper slices, broccoli, cauliflower, sugar snap peas, etc).
- If you don’t have a blender, you can mix all ingredients together in a bowl by hand. It won’t be as creamy and will have a bumpy texture from the cottage cheese, but it’s still delicious!

Did You Make This Recipe?We’d love to hear your thoughts! Leave a review or a question in the comment section below the post.
This is outstanding – I love veggies and dip, but the calories in the dip, not so much. I’m training for a race in June and need to eat high-protien. I cannot thank you enough for posting this. It is more delicious and creamy than the sour cream based dip I usually make, and tastier than the sole yogurt base I’ve tried. I bet this combo of cottage cheese and yogurt would make an awesome tzatziki!
This recipe is so clever and tasty! Ranch dressings just with yogurt aren’t great but adding the cottage cheese made the texture yummy. I used fat-free cottage cheese/yogurt and added a bit of creole seasoning and garlic b/c I like stronger flavors than the ranch pack offers, but this is so tasty!
Is the dry ranch dressing gf?
Not sure if it’s Gluten Free.
Connie, Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix is GF.
I love a dip with less calories, thank you! This turned out yummy.
I also just tried making this with Hidden Valley Fiesta mix and it turned out yummy too. I will say I liked it better when I did it the blender. It’s more creamy. This time I just did it with a hand mixer because I wanted to see the difference.
I am allergic to dairy. I can eat goat cheese (hard or chevee) and sheep feta cheese. Do you have any recommendations on substitutes?
You can easily substitute the dairy with cheeses that you are not allergic too. The taste will be totally different that this recipe because the cheeses will have been switched out.
Help! love the taste but it turned out watery. How to make it thicker? I thought about more greek yogurt but am terrified of messing with recipe
We haven’t had a problem with it being watery. Be sure to drain off excess liquid with your cottage cheese first and see if that helps. We used the 2%.
This was awesome! It’s better tasting and healthier for you than the regular Ranch Dip! I really can’t tell the difference between the regular full fat dip and this one – I used low fat cottage cheese and zero fat Greek yogurt.
This dip is delicious and so easy to make. I served it with carrots, bell pepper strips, celery, and cauliflower for dipping. Excellent to serve at any gathering! Thank you for this!
