Fresh Ricotta, Basil & Strawberry Sandwich

This April, celebrate fresh starts with one of our favorite signs of Spring- fresh ricotta.

Hints of sweetness layered into the creamy cow’s milk cheese make a perfect light snack or complete lunch inside this sweet and tangy, spring sandwich.  There’s nothing better than biting into fresh in-season strawberries, wrapped in cheese and sweetened with local honey.
