common recipe questions
Can I use low-fat or non-fat cottage cheese?
You can use low-fat or non-fat cottage cheese for a healthier option. The texture may be a bit thinner so you may not need as much milk.
What can I substitute for sugar?

Can I use a different type of citrus juice?
You can use lime juice or orange juice for a slightly different flavor.
How can I make the dressing thicker?
To make the dressing thicker, use less milk or add a little more cottage cheese.
Can I add herbs or spices?
You can add herbs like dill or chives, or spices like garlic powder or onion powder to add flavor to the dressing.
How do I store leftovers?
Store leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before using, as the dressing may separate.
Can I freeze the dressing?
It is not recommended to freeze cottage cheese dressing, as it may separate and change in texture when thawed.
What can I serve this with?
You can serve the dressing with salads, as a dip for vegetables or chips, or as a spread on sandwiches or wraps.

Just made this and the only substitute I did was splenda instead of sugar due to diabetic. It is awesome!

Wow, this is amazing!!! I thought this recipe looked strange enough to try, and I'm glad I did!! I followed Ms. Smith's advice and used AC vinegar in place of the lemon juice. I highly recommend trying this, you will be glad you did!!

Super, Super Awesome! What great flavor! The only change we made was substituting the lemon juice for apple cider vinegar. We loved it. When my kids like something new I make they say, "It's a keeper!" This dressing got rated a keeper in our home. Thank you, Ms.Smith
