Ingredients

15 oz tub of whole milk ricotta (just shy of 2 cups) ($2.67)

1 Tbsp olive oil ($0.19)

¼ tsp salt ($0.01)

1 lb loaf of sourdough** ($3.99)

Instructions

1 Combine ricotta cheese, lemon zest, olive oil and salt in a medium mixing bowl.

2 Using a hand mixer, whip the ingredients together until they are smooth and creamy.
