Instructions

Blend the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor until it becomes smooth.
In a bowl, combine the blended cottage cheese with Greek yogurt, chopped pickles, pickle juice, garlic powder, onion powder, dill, and black pepper until well mixed.
Toast panko in a small skillet with butter or olive oil over medium heat until golden and crispy, stirring frequently (about 2–3 minutes). Remove from heat.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and evenly sprinkle the toasted panko on top.
Serve it right away or chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

This dip can be made a day in advance for enhanced flavor.
Feel free to add extra dill pickles if you love their tangy taste.
