cottage cheese in buffalo chicken dip
Hi there! I’m Noura, the heart and soul behind dinnerscoop.com. This buffalo chicken dip with cottage cheese is one of my favorite recipe makeovers. I discovered it during a fridge clean-out, and now it’s my go-to for parties or snack nights. Using blended cottage cheese gives it a lighter feel without losing any creaminess. It’s smooth, spicy, and packed with protein—just how I like it. Whether you’re cooking for guests or just craving comfort food, this dip is always a winner. I hope it brings as much joy to your kitchen as it does to mine.
