Notes
To store: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Make ahead: you can make this dip 1-2 days in advance and store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to serve.
Add roasted garlic: If you like, you can use roasted garlic here instead. With their skins on, add a few garlic cloves to a piece of foil. Season with salt, drizzle generously with oil and wrap into a little parcel. Roast at 180c for 30 mins or so, until totally soft. Then squeeze into the ricotta before blending up.
