Ingredients

  • 1 C Cottage Cheese
  • 3 Wedges Light Laughing Cow Cheese Or cream cheese equivalent
  • 1/4 C Sour Cream
  • 3 T Pickle Juice
  • Ranch dressing to taste
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 C Diced Dill Pickles
  • 1/2 C Diced Gherkins
  • 1 T Minced Garlic
  • 1-2 T Butter
  • 2/3 C Pork Rinds Crushed I used precrushed
  • 1-2 T Minced Dried Onion I only had 1 tablespoon, I think 2 would have been better
  • 3 T Parmesan Cheese

Instructions

  • In a blender place cottage cheese, light laughing cow cheese, and sour cream, salt, pepper, minced garlic, pickle juice, and ranch seasoning. I started light because I didn't want to put too much in. I think about 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper, and 2 tablespoons of dry ranch seasoning. Blend thoroughly. Taste and adjust as needed.
  • Scrape contents into a container and stir in pickles.
  • Place butter in a skillet to melt, over medium heat.
  • These are the pork rinds that I used.
  • Pour pork rinds into the skillet.
  • Cook for about 20 seconds, add the dried onion flakes and the Parmesan cheese.
  • Cook for a least a minute, stirring the whole time.
  • Dot the top of the dip with cooked mixture. Trying to be as even as possible and use a spatula to spread it out.
  • Serve with desired dips.
