Greek Vegetable Dip for Zwt6

Submitted by twissis

"Found at www.cooks.com, entered for ZWT6 & modified slightly to make it more ingredient-friendly ... this low-cal & low-fat dip uses Feta cheese & combines it w/low-fat cottage cheese. Then it adds its veggie texture. I made the pimentos optional & then added capers as 2nd option (Times were estimated w/10 min allowed for ingredient prep & 10 min for combining them. Chill time is not included). *Enjoy* !"

I made this for Culinary Quest 2016. The feta really helped perk up the cottage cheese. I would add some Greek Seasoning to the mix next time and a bit of salt. I didn't have any pimientos but I added everything else. Served with celery sticks for the dipping. Thanks my friend. :D
