Italian Ricotta & Herb Protein Spread
Method
Place the ricotta, Parmesan and Greek yogurt in a medium bowl.
Add the olive oil, lemon juice, grated garlic, oregano and black pepper.
Mix well with a fork or spoon until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the fresh basil and parsley.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with a small amount of salt if needed.
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl.
Drizzle lightly with extra-virgin olive oil.
Garnish with a few fresh basil leaves and serve with wholegrain toast, crispbread or fresh vegetables.
Chef's Tip
For a lighter, whipped texture, blend the ricotta mixture briefly before adding the fresh herbs. Add the herbs at the end so their colour and flavour remain bright and fresh.
