Tips/Notes
- May substitute no-fat cottage cheese or 4% cottage cheese for low-fat cottge cheese.
- May omit the Ranch seasoning and double the amount of taco seasoning. Alternatively, you may omit the taco seasoning and double the amount of Ranch seasoning.
- I used pre-shredded cheese in this recipe. Because the cheese is not melted, the pre-shredded cheese works fine. Also, you can substitute the cheese of your choice.
- This dip will last for three days if stored in an airtight container and refrigerated.
