Perfect for hosting, this dip comes together in minutes yet feels gourmet – and it’s miles tastier than anything you’ll find on a supermarket shelf. Creamy ricotta, nutty pistachios, fresh basil, and zesty lemon combine into a velvety, flavour-packed dip that will have your guests coming back for more. Serve with crusty bread, crunchy crudités, or warm tortilla chips, and watch it disappear. Not to mention it's nutrient-rich with nuts and cheese providing ample protein and fibre.
- Step 1Toast the pistachios in a dry pan, then transfer to a plate to cool.
