Ricotta Sesame Salad
Ingredients
- 2 cups tender greens per person
- 4 ounces ricotta per person
- chopped fresh thyme or other fresh herb to taste (start with a tablespoon per portion)
- salt and pepper to taste
- sesame oil blend 1 or 2 teaspoons per portion
- vinegar I used white balsamic; about half as much as the amount of oil
- shaved parmesan cheese
- toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta with the herbs, plus a generous amount of salt and pepper.
- Dress the greens by drizzling sesame oil and vinegar over top. Then grind some salt and pepper over the greens and toss.
- Take half of the dressed greens and mix them with the ricotta. Some will cling to the leaves and the rest will remain in clumps.
- To serve, arrange remaining greens on a plate and top with the ricotta and greens, piling high. Garnish with the toasted sesame seeds and shaved parmesan cheese.
