    I was very scared, but tried this on a friend's recommendation. I wouldn't have known it was cottage cheese if I hadn't been told in advance. 2TBSP = 37 calories.

    1 16-oz container fat free cottage cheese
    1/4 cup skim milk
    1 packet Hidden Valley ranch dip mix

    Directions
    Combine cottage cheese and milk in blender and mix until creamy. Stir in the packet of ranch dip and refrigerate and hour or so until flavors meld. One serving = 2 tbsp dip

    I completely forgot about this dip recipe!! My mom used to make it all the time. You're right, it sounds alittle weird, but it is very good!!

    1/4 c Nonfat Greek yogurt
    Fresh mint leaves
    1/2 small garlic clove
    Salt + pepper

    **Dill weed works just as well in place of mint leaves. Different flavor, but still delicious! Especially with cucumbers :)

    I've had this too...and like it a little better than the greek yogurt, BUT...the yogurt is much easier to make, and I'm sort of lazy by nature lol.

    Don't know if it's been mentioned, but how about salsa? Low calories - it's mostly veggies itself - and lots of flavor. Just read labels and get one that doesn't have a lot of added sugar or other preservatives.

    Oh, and definitely get some bell peppers. Green are okay, but red, orange, and yellow are definitely better. They are sweeter, have more flavor, and less bite!

    Either,
    Cottage cheese w/dill
    yogurt w/dill
    Hummus
    Mild Taco sauce(or spicy whatever floats your boat)
    Balsamic Vinegar
    Not really a dip, but if I've just had a flavored tuna can, the oil from that goes alright, especially the lemon and pepper

    Hummus! And if/when that gets old, I mix equal parts hummus and salsa. Or hummus/pesto. Never gets old!

    I love hummus but if you want something more substantial, my recipe for Black bean dip Kramalicious is in the recipe section. I use that at parties. You can always use the leftovers in a tortilla for lunch LOL Hubby and I live on this stuff, and you can adjust it according to your taste and the macros you're trying to reach.

    Fresh homemade pico de gallo. LOVE IT! Just fancy for fresh salsa. I make it and its only like 50 calories for 8 oz/1 cup. SO DELISH!

    Also you can change up the tomato for mangos or strawberries. Always makes me feel like my carrots and cucumbers are chips :)!
