This is one of the best cottage cheese dip recipes. It has become a TikTok viral recipe since it uses high-protein cottage cheese as a base to create an imitation queso dip. It is usually considered a healthy, low-calorie snack.

Cottage cheese is one of my favorite healthy ingredients to use. It has exploded in popularity recently do to its high-protein content and can be used in recipes that are sweet, salty, or savory.

Some of my other favorite cottage cheese recipes include Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough, 2 Ingredient Cottage Cheese Bread, and Cottage Cheese Ice Cream.

Why you’ll love Cottage Cheese Queso Dip

  • High-protein snack: This cottage cheese chip dip is a high-protein snack that is low in calories. It is a great way to add additional protein to your diet.
  • Extra creamy: The blended cottage cheese creates an extra-creamy dip that is perfect for dipping chips, fresh vegetables, or other snacks.
  • Healthier queso alternative: Cottage cheese is typically considered a healthy food since it is high in protein and low in carbs. It may also contain less fat content than regular queso.

Ingredients

To make cottage cheese queso dip, you only need four ingredients:

  • Cottage cheese
  • Diced green chiles
  • Garlic
  • Shredded cheese

Ingredient Notes

Here are additional details about the four ingredients needed to make this queso dip with cottage cheese:

Cottage cheese: The cottage cheese creates the creamy, high-protein dip base. I typically opt for full-fat cottage cheese since I personally think it tastes better, but if you are trying to be conscious of your fat intake then low-fat cottage cheese could also work. I am a huge Aldi fan so I usually use Aldi's cottage cheese brand.
Diced green chiles: Canned diced green chiles add a little spice to this chip dip and are easy to find at your local grocery store. Another alternative is pico de gallo, but that can be a little harder to find.
Garlic: There's nothing like a little fresh garlic to add another flavor dimension! Garlic does have a very intense flavor so if you aren't a huge garlic fan I would leave it out or add half a garlic clove instead of a whole garlic clove.
Cheese: Most shredded cheeses could work in this recipe, but I use a Mexican cheese blend. Fresh shredded cheese usually has fewer or no additives, but if you are in a hurry, using pre-shredded cheese is an option.
