This light whipped ricotta dip comes together in less than 10 minutes and can be enjoyed with tortilla chips, cut vegetables, in a sandwich or with bread. Packed with flavor from fresh herbs, honey, and lemon juice, it is so easy to make and a perfect spring or summer appetizer! It can also be paired with your favorite wine or mocktail!
What you will need for this recipe:
- Cashews: these should be soaked in water (placed in the refrigerator) for up to 4 hours as it helps soften the nuts
- Lemon: fresh lemon juice gives the dip a lot of flavor
- Garlic Powder
- Salt
- Honey: this gives the dip a subtle hint of sweetness
- Herbs: I used a combination of dill, mint, and parsley, but you could also use thyme, oregano, and basil. To maximize flavor, I always suggest using fresh herbs over dried if possible
- Tortillas: this is optional, but I made my own air fryer tortilla chips (you can also use store bought instead)
Tips:
- You can add lots of different toppings to the dip! I used roasted strawberries and tomatoes, but you could also just drizzle olive oil with more fresh herbs or even try a drizzle of honey and herbs for a sweeter version
- To make your own air fryer tortilla chips, cut your tortillas into triangles and air fry them at 380 degrees for 6 minutes
- To keep your herbs lasting longer, store them in a jar with the stems in water in your refrigerator
How to Store:
- In a sealed airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days!
