Ingredients

• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill
• 6 ounces cooked salmon (or canned salmon), shredded

Here's how to make it:

1. Put the cottage cheese into a blender or, if you're using an immersion blender, into a mixing bowl. (I used the jug that came with my immersion blender.) Blend until creamy, about 30 seconds.
2. Add the lemon juice, honey and dill. Stir to combine. (I like to squeeze my own fresh lemon juice, but you can use bottled lemon juice in a pinch.)
3. Fold in the shredded salmon. (If you don't have cooked salmon, you can use canned salmon.)
4. Serve immediately or refrigerate until you're ready to serve. Enjoy on its own or spread onto your bread or crackers of choice. Top it with fresh vegetables such as lettuce, tomato or cucumbers. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
