- 3/4 tsp dried dill
- 1 1/4 tsp onion powder

Instructions
- Blend the Base: Add the cottage cheese, softened cream cheese, and plain Greek yogurt to a food processor or blender. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring a consistent base for your dip.
- Mix the Flavorings: Transfer the blended cottage cheese mixture to a bowl. Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, kosher salt, pepper or chili flakes, fresh chopped dill, and diced dill pickles until all ingredients are well combined and evenly distributed.
- Chill the Dip: Place the dip in the refrigerator and let it chill for 15-20 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together and the dip to thicken slightly for better texture and taste.
- Serve and Garnish: Transfer the dip into a serving bowl. Top with additional fresh dill, chopped dill pickles, and a handful of crushed pita chips, crackers, or chips. For meal prep or storage, garnish only with fresh dill to keep the dip fresh.
