What You Need for Cottage Cheese Buffalo Chicken Dip

Cottage cheese and Greek yogurt: The creaminess of this dip comes from the blended cottage cheese and Greek yogurt, which both add another boost of protein.
Hot sauce: We’re using a w،pping 1/4 cup of Franks Hot Sauce in this buffalo chicken dip.
Toppings: Don’t skip the toppings! Shredded mozzarella, blue cheese c،bles and sliced green onions are the perfect complement to the ،y buffalo flavor of this dip.
Food processor: Using a food processor makes this recipe so creamy! All you have to do is dump your cottage cheese, Greek yogurt and ،t sauce, and blend. If you don’t have access to a food processor, try using a high-s،d blender instead.
