Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese for the creamiest texture
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- Salt added according to taste
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves with stems removed
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1 fresh garlic clove peeled and minced
Instructions
- Peel the garlic clove and give it a rough chop. Remove the stems from the fresh cilantro and chop the leaves. Preparing these ingredients first helps them blend more evenly.
- Place the cottage cheese, prepared cilantro, garlic, and lime juice into a blender, food processor, or immersion blender chopper cup.
- Process the mixture until it becomes completely smooth and creamy. Stop as necessary to scrape down the sides of the container so that all ingredients are incorporated evenly.
- Taste the blended mixture and adjust the flavor as necessary. Pour in the olive oil, then blend again until the dressing is thoroughly combined and has a uniform, creamy consistency.
- Add salt and pepper according to taste, making any final seasoning adjustments needed for balance. Transfer the finished dressing to a suitable container and refrigerate until serving so the flavors have time to meld.
