Calorie breakdown for the cottage cheese spread

A little goes a long way and it tastes kind of like ranch. Gemini made sure the herbs contained in the spread matched the herbs used in the loaf. Very cute!

Comments from Gemini

That is a fantastic list of ingredients! We can absolutely create a delicious and simple sauce or spread with what you have on hand. Since the lentil loaf is already savory, let's focus on something creamy or bright to complement it.
