Ingredients

1.25 lb cooked chicken breast shredded or chopped
1 cup cottage cheese
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1/2 tsp maple syrup
2 tbsp fresh dill finely chopped
3 tbsp scallions thinly sliced
1 rib celery finely diced
1/8 tsp salt more to taste
1/4 tsp black pepper more to taste
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

In a blender or using an immersion blender in a small container, blend cottage cheese until smooth and creamy (you can also leave the cottage cheese with curds if you want to!). Pro tip: use an immersion blender and blend your cottage cheese right in the container it comes in! Use leftover blended cottage cheese to make cottage cheese ranch!
In a medium bowl, combine blended cottage cheese, fresh dill, scallions, celery, lemon juice, dijon mustard, maple syrup, and spices. Combine well.
Next, add the chicken breast and combine well with the dressing. Add additional salt and pepper to taste as needed and enjoy!
