Instructions
1
Pour the cottage cheese and Greek yogurt into a blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, so the spread becomes silky.
2
Wash the fresh herbs (chives, parsley and basil) thoroughly, dry them, and chop them as finely as possible.
3
Transfer the blended cottage cheese into a bowl. Add the grated garlic, salt, pepper and chopped herbs.
4
Stir the chopped walnuts and dried cranberries into the spread by hand. These will add crunchiness and an interesting sweet-tart aftertaste.
5
Mix everything well and let it rest in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving so the flavors can combine. Serve with whole-grain bread or as a dip with fresh vegetables.
