Ingredients
2 scallions (spring onions), chopped
Handful of garlic chives

1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil (or chili oil or ginger scallion oil for extra flavor)
Instructions
-
Set aside one scallion and half the garlic chives, finely chopped, for garnish.

In a food processor or blender, combine cottage cheese, pickled jalapeños, sun-dried tomatoes, salt, and the remaining scallions and garlic chives. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
-
Taste and adjust salt if needed.
-
Transfer to a bowl or plate. Smooth the surface and make a shallow well in the center.
-
Drizzle with olive oil (or flavored oil) and top with reserved herbs.

Serve with tortilla chips, pita chips, or veggies.
Notes
Make it spicier by adding a dash of hot sauce or crushed red pepper. Keeps well refrigerated in an airtight container for 2–3 days. You can substitute garlic chives with regular chives or green onion tops.
