Instructions
1
Dry-toast the pumpkin seeds in a pan over medium heat for about 3–5 minutes, until fragrant and lightly popping. Let them cool.
2
In a blender, mix the cottage cheese and Greek yogurt until completely smooth and creamy.
3
Finely chop the onion and garlic, and cut the chives into small rings.
4
Transfer the creamy cottage cheese mixture to a bowl. Add the chopped onion, garlic, salt and pepper, and mix well.
5
Finally, pour in the pumpkin seed oil and gently stir just a few times with a spoon so the spread develops a nice green marbled pattern.
6
Sprinkle the spread with toasted pumpkin seeds and fresh chives. Serve with whole-grain rye bread.
