Ingredients
For Herbed Ricotta
- ⅓ cup ricotta cheese
- 2 basil chopped finely, leaves
- 1 teaspoon oregano chopped finely, fresh
- 1 teaspoon thyme chopped, fresh
For Salad
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- 1 pound tomato cut into 1/2 inch slices, heirloom
- ½ English cucumber sliced
- 6 radish sliced
- ½ red onion sliced
- 1 Serrano pepper chopped
- ¼ cup basil chopped, leaves
- 1 tablespoon oregano leaves
Instructions
- In a small bowl combine the ricotta cheese with the basil, fresh oregano and thyme. Set aside.
- In another small bowl whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper.
- Arrange the tomato slices, cucumber, radishes and onion on a large platter then drizzle with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper if needed, then top with serrano peppers and dollop ricotta mixture evenly over the tomato slices.
- Garnish with fresh basil and oregano.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Regular tomatoes will do if you can't find heirloom.
- You can use jalapeños in place of the Serrano, or leave them out completely if you don't like spice.
- This salad can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 days. Unfortunately you can’t freeze this salad as the integrity of the veggies will be completely gone when it thaws, resulting in a big bowl of mush.
