Can I make this without a food processor?

Yes. A high powered blender works just as well. If you only have a regular blender, blend for a little longer and pause occasionally to scrape down the sides. The goal is a completely smooth texture with no visible curds.

How long does cottage cheese ranch dip last in the fridge?

It keeps well for four to five days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Stir it before using if it has been sitting. It does not freeze well, so make only what you will use within the week.

Can I use Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese?

Yes. You can replace some or all of the cottage cheese with plain Greek yogurt. It will be tangier and slightly thinner. A mix of both works great for a high protein ranch dressing with cottage cheese and Greek yogurt that pours more easily over salads.

What can I serve with cottage cheese ranch dip?

It works great with raw vegetables like carrots, celery, cucumber, and bell peppers. You can also use it as a spread on wraps, sandwiches, or pitas. It pairs nicely with crackers and pretzels too.
