A mayonnaise-free version of spinach artichoke dip with more protein than the regular one
Like Jalapeño Popper Dip I made a while back, I used cottage cheese.
Even if you don't like cottage cheese, you will like this dip.
The cottage cheese melts into the dip when it is baked, but if you have some extensive issues with cottage cheese, you can always blend the cottage cheese before stirring it into the dip. Then you really won't be able to tell there is cottage cheese in there!
