### **How to Make It:**
1. **Blend it Smooth:**
In a food processor or high-speed blender, blend the cottage cheese until smooth and creamy (about 30–60 seconds). If you like a chunkier dip, you can mash it by hand.
2. **Add Flavor:**
Stir in the garlic, lemon juice, and chopped herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. **Chill & Serve:**
Let the dip chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve with sliced veggies, crackers, pita chips, or use as a spread on sandwiches and wraps.
