Storing:
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. Helpful tips:
Make it ahead: You can make this dip ahead of time. Cottage cheese options: Full fat and reduced fat cottage cheese works. Spice level: I think Trader Joe’s Harissa is mild but if you are using other brands, it may have more spice. Adjust to your liking. Blend well: To get it super creamy, blend for at least 1-2 minutes in a food processor until smooth.
