Ingredients

• Ricotta Cheese: Use whole-milk ricotta for the creamiest texture. Low-fat ricotta can be grainy and less rich.
• Olive Oil
• Lemon: Divide the lemon. The juice goes in the ricotta mixture and the zest is for topping!
• Salt
• Honey: I love the balance of sweet with the savory ricotta, but feel free to leave it off if you prefer.
• Herbs: Fresh herbs (like thyme, basil, or chives) add a burst of freshness and aroma but are optional.

You will also need a food processor.
