Test Kitchen Notes

  • I love using KiteHill dairy free Ricotta, but any dairy ricotta will be perfect too! 
  • This recipe is super quick, so assemble right before serving. 
  • You can swap lemon zest for lime zest. 
  • If you don’t have capers, use something that is salty/briney, such as pepperoncini
