I love making store-bought ingredients shine. In this easy recipe, I top smooth ricotta with crushed Sicilian olives, lemon, slivered almonds, and capers for a delicious salty and creamy dip. Drizzled with infused olive oil, it's perfect for serving with crackers, bread, or veggies to kickstart appetites. Plus, it adds a touch of beauty to any table or a girl dinner.
