Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine the panko bread crumbs and melted butter.
  • Spread the mixture on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
  • Toast under the oven's low broil setting for about 5 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  • Using a hand blender, blend the cottage cheese until smooth.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the blended cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, finely diced dill pickles, chopped fresh dill, pickle juice, and lemon juice.
  • Stir until well combined. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Transfer the dip to a serving dish and top with the toasted panko bread crumbs.
  • Serve with chips or sliced cucumbers for dipping.

Notes

  • Don't skimp on the crunchy dill pickles! We tested this dip with fewer pickles, and the winning combo was more pickles and more dill. So, when in doubt, add more!
  • Let the dip rest in the fridge for an hour (without the Panko) to allow the flavors to meld together. Trust me, it's worth the wait.
  • Top the dip with the crispy panko bread crumbs just before serving to prevent them from becoming soft and soggy.
  • If you're feeling adventurous, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to give the dip a spicy kick.
  • You can prepare the dip a day in advance and store it in an airtight container in the fridge. Just add the crispy topping right before serving.
