This creamy dip is a favorite in my house because it is so simple to put together. It combines a smooth ricotta base with bright tomatoes and aromatic basil, making it perfect for sharing with friends during a casual get together.

My top tip for this recipe is to use fresh, ripe tomatoes if you can find them. If you are making this ahead of time, keep the balsamic glaze separate and drizzle it right before you serve the dish to keep everything looking beautiful.

Ingredients

  • 15 ounces whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the ricotta cheese in a medium mixing bowl and stir it until it is smooth and creamy.

  2. 2

    Gently fold in the fresh diced tomatoes and the chopped sun dried tomatoes.

  3. 3

    Add the minced garlic, chopped basil, salt, and pepper to the bowl.

  4. 4

    Stir the mixture until all the ingredients are well combined.

  5. 5

    Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and spread it out evenly.

  6. 6

    Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the top and serve with your favorite crackers or toasted bread.

💡 Tips

Serve this with toasted baguette slices or crisp cucumber rounds for a light snack. You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
