Caesar Salad Whipped Ricotta Dip

The idea of a “caesar salad” dip came to me extremely randomly and once I got it in my mind it was all I could think about. This is your new favorite appetizer. It is also as easy as it gets and uses only one thing: a food processor.

what you need:

• 1 lb Ricotta use whole fat or skim, it all works!
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic or 3 garlic cloves
• 4 tablespoons Caesar dressing
• Handful of fresh Italian parsley I did not measure this since it all goes into a food processor, so I just grabbed a chunk and tossed it in
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese

what you need to do:

• Place all items in the bowl of your food processor and whip until smooth, about 3 – 4 minutes.
• If you used whole fat ricotta, you may need to add more olive oil or Caesar dressing to thin it out to your preference.
• Place covered in the fridge for a bit to make sure the flavors all mesh together and it gets all nice and chilly.
• Serve cold with fresh veggies, toasted bread, or crackers!
