Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup reduced-fat 2 percent cottage cheese
  • 1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
  • 1 can cannelloni beans, rinsed, and drained (15½ oz.)
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper (ground)
  • 2 tsp. olive oil
  • pinch smoked or sweet paprika
  • Chopped chives (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Combine the cottage cheese, vinegar, thyme, beans, salt and pepper in a food processor. Puree until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Chill 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and drizzle with the olive oil, sprinkle with the paprika and garnish with chives.

Notes

A simple swap can do a lot. Choose sliced veggies like carrots, celery and bell peppers for all your favorite dips instead of potato chips.
