The Viral Pickle Dip That Doubles as a Protein Snack

If “extra pickles” is the default order, I love this protein pickle dip.

With a hard dose of protein, this creamy cottage cheese and Greek yogurt combo gets a flavour boost from a blend of Briny Dill Pickles, Herbie Chives and ranch-inspired seasonings.

They have earned likes and stocks on social media, and it’s easy to see why.

It’s a snack that will hit all the right notes. It has all the covetable flavors of your favorite party dip, subtracting the heavy ones.

But what really sets this dip apart (other than its cult following) is its impressive nutritional profile. A mix of fermented dairy products and fresh herbs brings a boost to calcium and beneficial bacteria for gut health. It also has the atmosphere of those beloved classic ranch.

Use it as a dip for raw vegetables, crackers or chips, or spread it over sandwiches for serious flavor upgrades.
