Ricotta salata is a firmer version of fresh ricotta; it is perfect for shaving over salads.

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cucumbers
1 fennel bulb, trimmed, plus 1 tablespoon chopped fronds
3 1/2 pounds watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 ounces ricotta salata

Steps:

  • Using a mandoline, slice the cucumbers lengthwise into paper-thin slices; slice the fennel bulb crosswise into paper-thin slices. Combine the cucumbers and fennel in a large serving bowl. Add the watermelon, fennel fronds, lemon juice, and oil. Season with salt and pepper; toss to combine. Using a vegetable peeler, shave the ricotta salata over the salad, and serve.
