This Whipped Beet Ricotta is vibrant and delicious, especially when surrounded by a variety of fresh veggies to dip in it!


Ingredients

  • 8 ounces ready-to-eat, steamed and peeled baby beets
  • 1 large lemon, zest and juice, divided
  • 1 (16 ounce) container whole-milk ricotta
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • chopped fresh rosemary, for garnishing
  • sea salt, for garnishing
  • toasted baguette slices, for serving
