Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 220kcal
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts optional
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- In a large bowl, toss the spinach with the dressing.
- Dollop spoonfuls of ricotta cheese on top of the salad.
- Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts, if using.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
Chef's Tip: Dollop the ricotta rather than stirring it in - keeping it in distinct spoonfuls gives better texture than blending it into the dressing. Keto Swap: none needed - naturally keto. Whole-milk ricotta gives the creamiest result; part-skim works but loses some richness.
