If you’re upping your protein game, then this will be a great recipe for you, given that the base is cottage cheese!

Tip: If you want it thick, then leave the water out, but if you want it like a dressing to pour over salad then add the water where indicated. You may need to check the consistency afterwards and if you want it thinner, add a bit more water until the consistency you prefer.
