Cottage Cheese Buffalo Dip Ingredients

  • Whipped Cottage Cheese – Using whipped cottage cheese as the base of this buffalo dip instead of cream cheese keeps this dip lower in calories, carbs, and higher in protein.
  • Buffalo Sauce – Any buffalo sauce will work, but my favorite is the Primal Kitchen Buffalo Sauce because it has clean ingredients and it’s delicious!
  • Avocado Mayonnaise – This ensures that the dip is super creamy. You can use homemade avocado mayo or your favorite brand. 
  • Hot Sauce (optional) – For most, the buffalo sauce alone is enough spice. But, if you love extra spicy dips, you’ll definitely want to add a bit of hot sauce.
  • Shredded Chicken (optional) – To up the protein even more, feel free to add shredded chicken.

Easy Cottage Cheese Buffalo Dip FAQs

  1. How long does it last? This dip will last in the refrigerator up to one week.
  2. Is it better served hot or cold? Honestly, it’s delicious both ways! When serving it with vegetables, I like to eat it cold or at room temperature. When serving it at a party with crackers or chips, I like to pop it in the oven for about 10 minutes and serve it warm.
  3. What should I serve it with?  It’s delicious with celery, carrots, bell peppers, crackers, and chips.
