Ingredients
  • 1 (16 oz.) container cottage cheese
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
Preparation
  1. In a medium sized bowl, combine cottage cheese and sour cream until fully incorporated.
  2. Add parsley and chives, then season with garlic salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
