I'm not sure what went wrong, but mine didn't turn out as good as the picture. It was still tasty, but it wasn't as creamy or flavorful.

I used a different type of cheese because I didn't have cottage cheese on hand. It turned out just as good!

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a fan of cottage cheese. But I'm so glad I did! The cottage cheese gives the dip a really creamy and tangy flavor that is perfectly balanced by the spices.
