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.

The handset comes out of the box unlocked, so you can choose any network you wish with it, and also offers both a rear-facing 5 megapixel camera for video and

While this is better than not driving traffic to anything of yours,
it is ineffective when compared to driving traffic to a location-specific landing

Does this count as 1 Red? I was guessing it does by your picture but wanted to double check.
Thanks!
This looks delicious. I havent tried making dips with cottage cheese yet. (Everyone is only allowed 1 orange per day. Not 2)
I thought you on lunch had 1 orange container a day.
this is genius! Can’t wait to try it out!!
I just made this and it is FANTASTIC! This is truly an absolute game changer! Thank you so much for sharing this. My husband and I are both trying to follow the diet and one of things he missed most was his ranch dressing. This is absolutely delicious and I completely understand why you wouldn’t want to go back to regular ranch dip afterwards! Absolute winner!
I have yet to jump into the cottage cheese and fruit realm, but I think this could be a good way to get my feet wet. I suppose I could get the cottage cheese flavor without the texture I’ve dreaded to put in my mouth. Have you tried this recipe with yogurt?
Yes, pureeing it definitely solves the texture issues!
Could i use Greek Yogurt instead of cottage cheese in this??
Hi Lindsey,
Yes, plain Greek yogurt would work as well. I like the flavor from the cottage cheese a bit better. 🙂
Enjoy!
very nice! Love the idea. To make it glutten free can I leave out vineger, and still get a good flavor?
I think it would still taste good without the vinegar. The vinegar just adds a bit of tang — more like a buttermilk ranch.
This sounds really easy. I love ranch. May have to give this a try 🙂
Thank you!! I’ve been having ranch withdrawals!!
how do you count this ? What color containers?
Hi Carolyn,
The Dip is a red container. Carrots or salad would be a green container.
I hope this helps!
