This Garlic & Chive Cottage Cheese Dip is creamy, herby and blended with garlic confit which gives an added richness. It’s paired with an olive shallot mix that is perfect for hosting a large group.

This garlic confit & chive whipped cottage cheese dip is creamy, bright, and packed with flavor. The garlic confit is slowly cooked with plenty of lemon rind and red pepper flakes until soft and fragrant, then blended with cottage cheese, fresh chives, and an extra squeeze of lemon for a smooth, tangy base. The result is a light yet luscious dip with mellow garlic flavor and a little citrusy kick.
To finish, it’s topped with a punchy mix of chopped olives and shallots that brings the perfect pickley bite. A spoonful of that golden confit oil drizzled over the top ties everything together and adds even more richness. Serve it with whatever you’re craving for dipping—crisp veggies, salty crackers, or slices of baguette—for an easy snack that feels a little special.
