Recipe by Skye Gyngell This high-summer salad hits every note on the sweet (red pepper), sour (tomato), salty (ricotta and anchovy), and bitter (olive) scale.

Ingredients

  • 4 red bell peppers, halved, seeds and ribs removed
  • 6 oil-packed anchovy fillets, finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup basil leaves, divided
  • Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons plus 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/3 cup fresh ricotta
  • 1/4 cup pitted small black and/or green olives

Instructions

  2. Meanwhile, blend remaining 3/4 cup basil and remaining 1/3 cup oil in a blender until smooth; season basil oil with kosher salt and black pepper.
