A blender is best for transforming the cottage cheese to the silky texture necessary for this savory appetizer mousse. Serve with crackers for an open house or cocktail party.

Ingredients:

1/2 teaspoon unflavored gelatin

2 tablespoons cold water

1/4 cup boiling water

1 1/2 teaspoons grated onion

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

1/4 teaspoon worcestershire sauce

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 cup 2% low-fat cottage cheese

1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise

1 cup finely flaked drained canned skinless, boneless pink salmon (about 1 1/2 cans)

2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill

cooking spray

Directions:

1. Sprinkle gelatin over 2 tablespoons cold water in a small bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Add 1/4 cup boiling water, stirring with a whisk until gelatin dissolves; cool 15 minutes. Stir in onion and next 5 ingredients (through black pepper), stirring with a whisk. Chill 20 minutes or until mixture thickens.
2. Place cottage cheese in a blender; process until smooth. Add gelatin mixture and mayonnaise; process until well combined. Spoon cheese mixture into a large bowl; fold in salmon and chopped dill.
3. Coat a 4-cup loaf pan or metal mold with cooking spray; line with plastic wrap. Spoon salmon mixture into prepared pan; cover with plastic wrap. Chill overnight or until set. Invert pan onto a platter; remove plastic wrap.
