High-Protein Avocado Cottage Cheese Spread
Method
Place the eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 9–10 minutes, then cool completely before peeling.
Chop the eggs into small bite-sized pieces. Dice the avocado, red onion, and cucumber into small, even cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Sriracha (or Tabasco), salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Fold the chopped eggs, avocado, onion, and cucumber into the dressing.
Mix gently until all the ingredients are evenly coated while keeping the avocado pieces intact.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional lemon juice, hot sauce, salt, or pepper if desired.
Chill for 15–20 minutes before serving. Enjoy as a spread on whole-grain bread, crispbread, or lettuce leaves, or serve as a high-protein dip with fresh vegetables.
For the best texture, add the avocado just before serving to preserve its vibrant color and creamy consistency. This spread also makes an excellent filling for wraps, stuffed tomatoes, or baked sweet potatoes, and it can be prepared a day ahead—simply stir in the avocado right before serving.
