Corned Beef Dip

This nostalgic Corned Beef Dip is the creamy, tangy appetizer I grew up devouring at every holiday, now with a high-protein twist thanks to blended cottage cheese. It’s quick to whip up, packed with crunchy pickles and savory corned beef, and guaranteed to disappear just as fast as a sleeve of your favorite chip or crackers.

Notes

We always served with Wheat Thins growing up, but I like it on a crostini, too! Slice ½ of a French Baguette, drizzle with olive oil, salt + pepper, and bake for 15 minutes at 400°F until golden brown. Allow to cool and use a cookie scooper to scoop corned beef dip on top.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
