"If you've ever looked at a carton of cottage cheese and thought it was limited to simple serving presentations with fruit or alongside breakfast staples like eggs, think again. The fresh cheese made from coagulated milk curds can easily be blended until smooth to make a delicious salad dressing that's high in protein. Full fat cottage cheese contains 11.5 grams of protein per 100 grams,"
"And the best thing is that because a variety of cottage cheese brands, you can pick the one with the fat and sodium levels that suit you, or even choose a lactose-free option. If you're targeting a salad dressing that's both low in fat and high in protein, go with low or nonfat varieties, which contain slightly more protein per serving (about 14 grams per half cup serving) and still add lots of pleasant creaminess to the mix."
Cottage cheese can be blended until smooth to create creamy, high-protein salad dressings. Full-fat cottage cheese contains 11.5 grams of protein per 100 grams, and low or nonfat varieties offer about 14 grams per half-cup serving. Cottage cheese typically provides more protein than Greek yogurt and far more than mayonnaise while staying lower in fat than mayo when using lower-fat varieties. Brands vary in fat and sodium, and lactose-free options are available. To prepare, blend to break up curds, then mix in oil, spices, herbs, lemon juice, mustard, or buttermilk. Use blended cottage cheese in ranch, green goddess, Thousand Island, French, or blue cheese dressings.
