Instructions

Add the cottage cheese, water, apple cider vinegar, fresh herbs, garlic and black pepper (if using) to a blender cup.
Blend to a thick creamy salad dressing, adding a touch more water to thin, to preference.

Notes

Pack in the herbs! For ranch-style dressing flavors, I suggest to use parsley, dill and cilantro, but mint is also delicious.
Scrape the blender down. You may need to stop and scrape the sides of the blender down a few times.
Adjust texture. If you like a thinner dressing, simply add a little more water.
