1 garlic clove, finely chopped
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
½ teaspoon Dijon mustard

¼ cup chopped fresh mint
Instructions
Vinaigrette: Add the salt to the chopped garlic on a cutting board and use the side of the knife to
rub the salt into the garlic to form a paste. In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic paste,
vinegar, mustard and a few cranks of pepper, While whisking, slowly drizzle in the oil until emulsified. Set aside.
Ricotta: Mix all ricotta ingredients in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
Salad: Combine the field peas and peanuts in a bow. Add the tomato and peppers and toss with
vinaigrette.
To Serve: Place a scoop (about ½ cup) of the Lemon Ricotta in the bottom of a serving bowl.
Evenly divide the salad among the bowls, piling it on top of the ricotta. Top each salad with
chopped peanuts and chopped fresh mint.
