There is something special about having a homemade dressing ready in the fridge. This roasted red pepper version is one of my favorites because it is bright, savory, and keeps things interesting during the week.

I love using cottage cheese as the base for this recipe. It makes the texture incredibly creamy while adding a nice hit of protein to your meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup jarred roasted red peppers, drained
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. 1

    Drain the roasted red peppers well to remove excess liquid.

  2. 2

    Place the cottage cheese, roasted red peppers, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic into a blender or food processor.

  3. 3

    Add the salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.

  4. 4

    Blend the mixture on high speed until it is completely smooth and creamy.

  5. 5

    Taste the dressing and add a little more salt or lemon juice if you prefer extra brightness.

  6. 6

    Transfer to a jar or airtight container and keep it chilled until you are ready to serve.

💡 Tips

Store this dressing in a glass jar in the refrigerator for up to five days. It is delicious drizzled over fresh greens, used as a creamy spread in wraps, or served alongside crunchy raw vegetables like cucumbers and carrots.
