Ranch-style whipped cottage cheese

Zhuzhed up with the savoury flavours of American ranch dressing, Waitrose food editor Lucy Battersby's velvety version of the 70s favourite should convert even cottage-cheese sceptics. It makes a moreish dip for crisps, a different dressing for salads or a creamy accompaniment to grilled vegetables or roast chicken. Cottage cheese has something of an unfair reputation, but we’re here to set the record straight. This high‑protein hero shines in our Herby cottage cheese potatoes with crisp ham hock & slaw, and even shows its sweeter side in Strawberry doughnuts with whipped cottage cheese. Consider this your sign to give it another chance. Follow Lucy Battersby on Instagram.
