This variation of regular sour-cream ranch dip has been a hit at all the parties I've made it for. Makes a lot, and can be served with potato chips, veggies, or bread.
We omitted the cottage cheese, used real Ranch dressing instead of the dry packets, and this recipe was excellent. Extremely quick and easy, very pleasing to the taste!
Read MoreThis was ok, but very "ranch-y" tasting. I should have followed others advice and cut back on the ranch dressing mix, but I wanted to follow it exactly the first time and see. People liked it ok, but didn't love it, and I had a lot leftover. I'll cut the amt in half next time, and half again for the ranch. Cottage cheese was interesting, I used small curd and it wasn't too chunky.

I made this for our Super Bowl party and it was very good. I halfed the recipe and omitted the cottage cheese. The cayenne pepper adds a little kick to it. Had this with with veggies and chips. I recommend this one.
Warning: This makes a ton of dip and is addictive. The cottage cheese gives it a texture that is sooooo yummy (think chunks in bleu cheese dressing). I used the big container of cottage cheese 1 lb 8 oz because 8 oz was not enough. I also used a heap of the dip in mashed potatoes, very garliky and good. I used garlic powder in leiu of the garlic salt. I was worried about too much salt with the dry ranch dressing being so salty. I can't wait to make it again.
I love this dip and I have been making it for a long time. My suggestion is to make sure that you are using the ranch "dressing" mix and not the ranch "dip" mix. I also puree the dip because I like a more smoothe consistency. That is just a personal preference and will differ person to person. This is great with chips and veggies and anything else that someone may want to dip into ranch dip!
I cut this recipe in half. I used SD's dry ranch dressing mix (which is also from this site), reduced fat mayonnaise, reduced fat sour cream and "Trim" cottage cheese. Because there was garlic/onion powder in the dry ranch dressing mix, I did not add the extra garlic salt or onion powder. We thought this was quite good. I liked using the cottage cheese as it was little change up from the usual nonfat plain yogurt that I usually use in my homemade lowfat ranch dip. NOTE: I did run the cottage cheese through the blender as I have three boys who have issues with chunky cottage cheese dip and it sailed right past them.
SUPER easy to make and very tasty. I can't stop munching on it. I didn't change a thing.

First of all I halved the recipe, substituting finely minced onions for the onion powder and garlic powder instead of garlic salt. Even still, my mother and I thought it was way too salty. The people I served this to at the meeting all seemed to love it. I think the next time I would not use quite all of the ranch packet mix, to reduce the saltiness. Also, per personal preference, I think I will up the cayenne a tad.
I made it for a family party and everyone loved it! The only change I'll make next time to it is to only do 1 tsp. of cayenne rather than 1 1/2 tsp. It was a bit spicy for me. But very yummy!
This dip is the best bring-along dip ever. I've used it twice now: for bible study and for work. I found myself without cayenne pepper tonight but it works even without the kick.
When I found this recipe I was not sure how the cottage cheese was going to turn out in the dip, but was pleasantly suprised. Next time I'll buy the small curd though. I loved the flavors and so did my guest
I halved all the ingredients because I didn't want that much dip... but right after mixing it up, I scooped up a big bite with a chip and it was delicious! I can't wait to try it later after it has chilled and the flavors have had time to mingle. I really like the added texture from the cottage cheese. Great recipe!
This was great! Made it for a group of women I had over for a jewelry party and they loved it. It makes a hugh amount so you might want to scale it down unless you have a big group to feed.
This is a great recipe. I made up half a batch for my Bunko group and they loved it. Very easy to prepare and the zip got everyones attention.
Awesome! The only thing I changed was to use less cayenne. My husband could eat the whole bowl!
Definately a keeper! I love anything with ranch-dressing mix and this dip is just wonderful and very easy to make.
This was a great dip. I especially liked the tecture the cottage cheese gave it. And the Cayenne Pepper gave it Zing!! YUMMY
My Mom use to make a dip similar to this when I was young. It was very yummy. Brought back memories.
I took this to my grandma's for a get together and it was gone in 20 min. I had to go to the store and make more! Everyone loved it. I will make this again!
I have made this dip several times now and it's always devoured. My 5yo begged me to make it again for him. I leave some without the cayenne pepper for him.
This was a hit! I added a bit too much cayenne, so my brother-in-law always requests this as the "Cayenne Dip". He loved it!
I made this for the Super Bowl party I went to tonight and everyone really liked it! It's like regular ranch dip with a kick!
i love this recipe. we use it every month at our all church social.
Great recipe. I received a lot of compliments. I added diced red and green onion to it as well. And I only used 1 package of dry dressing mix.
This dip was fantastic! Do not omit the cottage cheese. I was concerned about the texture so I blended it smooth. Another reviewer pointed out that the recipe calls for packaged ranch-style DRESSING mix not the much saltier ranch DIP mix. That may be why some thought it too salty. Also, I used garlic powder instead of garlic salt.
Addicting. Great flavor and great with bell peppers!!!! Cottage cheese through me off at first but I loved the blue cheese texture of this dip!
So addicted to this ranch dip......thought the cottage cheese would ruin it but it made it better!!
Great variation to the usual ranch dip. I made it for a company function and it was a huge hit!! I think I will use garlic powder instead of the garlic salt next time. Great with veggies, chips and buffalo wings.
Perfect as is. Don't omit the cottage cheese. It gives it body and nobody knows it is in there.
I love this! I made it for a birthday party and it was well liked. I served with chips and veggies - it went well with both. The flavor was great and not to spicy with the cayenne, it was just right. I will definitely make this again!
This gets five stars based upon reviews of my guests - I am not a fan of ranch dip at ALL so the heck w/my opinion, but everone loved it! Thanks for sharing this entertaining keeper.
I made it for a family gathering and it was a HUGE hit! Everyone asked for the recipe!:)
Good base for a dip, except I omitted the cottage cheese and used almost 2 teaspoons of cayenne. It gave it a perfect kick without it being too much. It’s a staple I make for parties with sliced veggies.
