Tasty Cottage Cheese Dip - Ideal for Vegetables

This is my own cottage cheese dip which was inspired by Mom's Dip and is a kind of home-made ranch type dip. I made it for a party and served it with cherry tomatoes, carrot sticks and cucumber sticks. It went down very well. Note that it should be made a few hours in advance so that the flavours will blend well.
