It creates a perfect harmony of sweet and savoury flavours that is simply irresistible, finished with a delightful crunch from toasted pistachios.

Ingredients
-
For the Dip:
-
500g full-fat cottage cheese (for the best creamy texture)
-
2-3 tbsp Melora Manuka Honey (plus an extra drizzle for serving)
-
A pinch of sea salt (optional, to enhance the flavours)
-
-
For Topping & Serving:
-
A generous handful of shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
-
Your choice of dippers: crackers, toasted sourdough, breadsticks, sliced cucumber, carrot sticks, or bell peppers.

Method
Blend to Perfection: Place the cottage cheese and 2 tablespoons of Melora Manuka Honey into a high-speed blender or food processor. If you like, add a small pinch of sea salt.
-
Whip it Good: Blitz the mixture on high for 1-2 minutes, or until it is completely smooth, airy, and has a velvety texture. Scrape down the sides of the blender once or twice to ensure everything is incorporated.
-
Serve it Up: Spoon the whipped cottage cheese into a serving bowl. Using the back of the spoon, create a few swirls on top.
-
Garnish and Drizzle: Sprinkle the chopped pistachios generously over the dip. For the final, show-stopping touch, drizzle a little extra Melora Manuka Honey over the top.
-
Enjoy: Serve immediately with your favourite crackers, fresh vegetables, or breadsticks.
Why We Use Melora Manuka Honey
For a recipe this simple, the quality of each ingredient truly shines. We use Melora Manuka Honey not just for its sweetness, but for its unique, rich, and slightly herbaceous flavour profile that you won't find in regular honey. It elevates this dip from a simple snack to a gourmet experience, adding a depth of flavour that beautifully complements the tang of the cottage cheese and the nuttiness of the pistachios.
It’s a touch of everyday luxury that makes all the difference.
