Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup light mayonnaise (preferably Hellmann’s Light Mayo)
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sugar-free ketchup
- 2 tbsp yellow mustard
Flavor Enhancers
- 1/4 cup diced dill pickle
- 1/4 cup diced white onion
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp liquid stevia (or 2 tsp sugar)
Instructions
- Blend the Ingredients: Add all ingredients into a small food processor or blender. Pulse or blend the mixture until everything is well combined and reaches your desired consistency. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure full incorporation.
- Adjust the Flavor: Taste the blended sauce and modify the seasoning. Add more sugar or liquid stevia for sweetness, salt for seasoning, or additional spices to enhance the flavor as desired.
- Modify the Consistency: If you prefer a thinner sauce, gradually add more milk while blending. Blend again to fully combine any added milk until you reach your preferred texture.
- Chill the Mixture: Transfer the sauce into a container and refrigerate for at least one hour. For best flavor, let it chill for 24 hours to allow the ingredients to meld together fully.
- Store Properly: Keep any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It stays fresh for up to one week, ready to enjoy whenever needed.
Notes
- Use liquid stevia or sugar based on your preference to keep it low in sugar.
- Adjust milk quantity to control sauce thickness as per your liking.
- For a spicier version, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce.
- Allowing the sauce to chill longer enhances the flavor blending.
- Store leftover sauce in an airtight container and consume within a week for best freshness.
