3. In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese with mayonnaise, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Blend on high until smooth.
4. Taste the mixture and adjust seasonings if necessary.
5. Transfer the cottage cheese cream to a bowl and stir in the chopped spinach until fully combined.

Notes
You can use frozen spinach to save time—just make sure to drain it thoroughly.
For a tangier dip, add a teaspoon of lemon juice or a pinch of chili flakes.
This dip also works great as a spread for wraps and sandwiches.
Make it dairy-free by substituting with plant-based cottage cheese and mayo.
