I’m going strong on Day 4 of the 21 Day Fix. Thus far, this program has seemed very sustainable. I’m not hungry and I am exploring new options to fit into my allotted containers each day.
One thing that I really enjoy is being able to dip veggies and being able to cover my salad with dressing — but of course, this isn’t the healthiest option. I used both of my orange containers for my Cheeseburger Salad, but I knew I needed for find another alternative so I can use those orange containers for other goodies! So, I created my own, protein-packed, creamy Ranch. It’s perfect for dipping or for topping a salad. And, since it’s a protein, it’s a red container food — meaning I can have half of a red container with veggies for a snack and then use the other half later on a salad for one red container! It’s perfect.
I love this Ranch and I think I’ll continue to use it even with I’m not on the fix! I stored mine in the fridge in glass mason jars, but you could always just reuse the cottage cheese container as well. This makes a LOT of dip/dressing — and the best part is, it’s okay to eat a lot of it too! 🙂
- 20 oz. of 2% cottage cheese
- 2 Tbsp white vinegar
- 2 Tbsp dried parsley
- 1½ tsp. dried dill weed
- 2 tsp. garlic powder
- 2 tsp. onion powder
- 2 tsp. dried onion flakes
- 1 tsp. ground black pepper
- 1 tsp. dried chives
- In a small bowl, combine the dry seasonings and stir. In a blender, add the cottage cheese, white vinegar, and dry seasonings and puree. If the mixture is too thick, it can be thinned with water, 1 or 2 Tbsp at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Store in the fridge and it should be good until the date on your cottage cheese container.
