Use a variety of heirloom tomato colors for the prettiest presentation. Unlike ricotta cheese, ricotta salata is firm enough to crumble or grate. Substitute feta cheese for ricotta salata, if you prefer. from Cooking Light Magazine Photo:Becky Luigart-Stayner

I like the dressing made with the Ricotta Salata
and silken tofu with lemon, it adds zip to this stacked heirloom tomato recipe.

I was just thinking I would go into the kitchen and make this with plain old mayo on top, but then I saw that the ricotta goes into the blender w/mayo making ingredients, so I take it the cream comes out smooth and amazing? looks like my tomato and ...more
