High-Protein Cottage Cheese Mustard Sauce
Method
Finely chop the fresh greens and set them aside.
Place the cottage cheese, Dijon mustard, and yogurt into a blender or food processor.
Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Alternatively, mash everything thoroughly with a fork for a more rustic texture.
Add the chopped greens and pulse briefly, or stir them in by hand to maintain their fresh texture.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
If the sauce is thicker than desired, stir in an extra tablespoon of yogurt until it reaches a silky consistency.
Serve immediately as a spread for whole-grain toast, a sauce for grilled turkey or chicken, or a dip for fresh vegetables.
This protein-packed sauce also works beautifully as a sandwich spread or baked potato topping. For an even brighter flavor, add a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice or a pinch of lemon zest just before serving.
