Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by mashing the avocado and ricotta together until creamy. Season with sea salt and pepper.
  2. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the chopped pepper, radishes, capers, basil, chives, olive oil, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper, then stir gently.
Cooking
