How to Make Whipped Beet Cottage Cheese Dip

  2. Add the cottage cheese, roasted beet, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend for 60–90 seconds until completely smooth and whipped. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  3. Taste and adjust seasoning. Chill for 30 minutes if you have time to let the flavors deepen.
  4. Top with fresh herbs, cracked pepper, a drizzle of olive oil, or crumbled goat cheese before serving.
