It’s good to be on the outlook for dishes and appetizers that are both delicious and healthy. I came across this dip and it caught my eye because of those two factors. You start with an avocado which has many good nutrients, including a good fat. Then add some protein with cottage cheese, some nice flavorful herb, sea salt and pepper and in a very short amount of time you have a nice compliment for vegetables, crackers or pita bread. A little lemon juice will give the dish some vitamin C, a nice punch of flavor and will keep your avocado from turning brown. That’s it. Since the color is green, serving along side celery and red peppers would make a nice festive accompaniment. Chop a few herbs to garnish on top and you are done. Anytime of the year, this would be a perfect lunch or snack on the go. Just pack in a little plastic reusable container and celery or other veggies in a container as well. Enjoy!
