Ingredients
- 250 g ricotta
- 1 tsp garlic granules
- 1/2 tsp flakey salt
- 1/2 tsp lemon zest
- Honey, to drizzle
- Chilli flakes, to top
- Fresh mint, to garnish
Instructions

- Smooth onto a plate and use the back of a spoon to make a few indents into the dip. Top with honey, chilli flakes and mint.
Notes
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.
