Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1 small garlic clove, smashed
- 1/4 cup mixed fresh herbs (chives, parsley, dill, tarragon, basil)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients including ricotta cheese, fresh herbs, garlic clove, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Ensure the garlic is smashed for easy blending.
- Combine Ingredients: In the bowl of a food processor, add the ricotta cheese, mixed fresh herbs, smashed garlic, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper.
- Process the Dip: Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth, well combined, and whipped. If the dip seems too thick, gradually add more olive oil to reach your desired consistency.
- Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and enjoy it immediately with fresh vegetables of your choice.
- Store: Place any leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate. Use within 5-7 days for optimal freshness.
Notes
- Feel free to adjust the herb mixture according to your taste preferences.
- Adding extra olive oil will create a looser, creamier texture perfect for dipping.
- This dip is an excellent healthy alternative to heavier, mayo-based dips.
- Best served chilled for maximum flavor.
- Can be used as a spread on toast or sandwiches as well.
