Notes

• Use ripe Hass avocado for best creamy texture and flavor.
• Adjust lime juice and salt to taste for desired brightness and saltiness.
• Leave jalapeño seeds in for more heat or remove for milder dip.
• Substitute 2% cottage cheese with low-fat or whole milk cottage cheese based on preference.
• For a smoother texture, strain cottage cheese before blending to reduce curds.
• Store leftover dip covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; stir before serving.
