Ingredients

  • 15 oz Ricotta Cheese
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 tsp dried basil (or 2 tbsp fresh basil)
  • 2 tsp dried oregano (or 2 tbsp fresh oregano)
  • 1 tsp dried parsley (or 1 tbsp fresh parsley)
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 lemon
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Mix together the ricotta, garlic, herbs, salt and pepper. Squeeze and add the juice from half a lemon. Stir until fully combined.
  • Refrigerate for at least one hour. When ready to serve, top with extra virgin olive oil.

Notes

  • If you are only using a portion of the dip mixture, cut the olive oil to be poured over. (i.e. half the dip, should get half the amount of extra virgin olive oil)
  • If you use this as a stir-in, drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the completed dish or omit.
