Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 8 oz feta
- ¼ cup cottage cheese
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- ½ shallot chopped
- 1-2 cloves garlic chopped
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp parsley
Instructions

- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, garnish with any additional seasonings or an extra drizzle of oil, then serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Utilize mise en place! Make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and ready before you begin making this recipe - it will help save you time and keep you organized.
- Chunky or creamy? This recipe makes a pretty sturdy, chunky dip, but you can thin it out to make it a bit creamier by adding more olive oil or more pumpkin puree (or even a splash of milk or water).
- Make it sweet or savory. Pumpkin is a super versatile ingredient that can be made super sweet or deliciously savory - keep the recipe as-is for a savory dip, or swap out the seasonings for sweeter spices like cinnamon and nutmeg for a sweet twist!
- Swap the cottage cheese for Greek yogurt if you want a slightly tangier, smoother base for the dip!
