Combine all the ingredients of the herb mixture together and reserve 3 tablespoons. Set remaining herb mixture aside. For the dressing, place the 3 tablespoons of herb mixture in a food processor. Drop the 2 garlic cloves through the food chute with the food processor on and process until minced. Add cottage cheese and next five ingredients. Process till smooth. Stir in the feta.
