- Put the garlic cloves in a microwave safe bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Cook the garlic on high power in the microwave, until very soft, about 1 1/2 minutes. (Alternatively steam the garlic until soft.) Let cool, and gently press the cooked garlic out of the skin onto a cutting board. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt, and mince together with the parsley leaves to make a paste. Using a fork, blend the garlic-parley paste with the ricotta, lemon zest, and olive oil. Season with pepper and serve with vegetable crudités such as broccoli, cauliflower, bell peppers, and button mushrooms.
- Keep in airtight container refrigerated for 2 days.

SWEET RICOTTA DIP FOR FRUIT
This is a very simple dip to use with fresh fruit. It can be served in the same fashion as vegetables (crudites) and dip, a bowl of this surrounded on a plate by melon balls/slices, strawberries, grapes, kiwi, cherries, blueberries, bananas and apple slices. Just be sure to dunk bananas and apple slices in lemon juice first to prevent browning. Serve with a shot glass full of toothpicks, and Voila!

- Serve the dip with a variety of vegetables, such as carrots, celery, cucumbers, and bell peppers. You can also serve it with pita bread, crackers, or chips.
- If you like a spicy dip, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes.
- For a more tangy dip, add a tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar.
