Cottage Cheese Ranch Crunch Box

Instructions

1. 1

   In a small bowl, stir the cottage cheese with the chopped chives, dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon juice, and black pepper. For a smoother dip texture, briefly blend the mixture for 10 to 20 seconds in a small jug blender. Taste — the herbs should be evenly distributed, the lemon should brighten the flavour, and it should read ranch-style.

2. 2

   Pack the seasoned cottage cheese into the centre of a snack container or shallow bowl.

3. 3

   Arrange the carrot sticks, cucumber half-moons, and halved cherry tomatoes around the cottage cheese.

4. 4

   Tuck the rye crispbread in alongside, or pack separately so it stays crisp until you eat.
