This white bean dip gets its flavor from a combination of roasted garlic, rosemary, and kalamata olives and its smooth texture from ricotta cheese. If time allows, pick up a baguette and make your own crostini at home, or just serve with crackers.

1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
