Forget the mayo and use cottage cheese instead to make this delicious, low-fat artichoke dip.

You don’t need mayonnaise or sour cream to make a rich-tasting dip. Use cottage cheese and milk to create this delicious, low-fat version. The artichoke even provides some fiber.

Ingredients:

1 cup canned water-packed artichoke hearts, drained
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 cup fat-free or 1 percent cottage cheese
2-3 T fat-free milk
1/4 cup diced sweet onion

Preparation:

Blend all ingredients in blender or food processor until smooth. Chill before serving. As a variation, try substituting low-fat or non-fat sour cream for the cottage cheese and milk.
