For the baked ricotta
Spread the ricotta onto a baking sheet lined with parchment.
Season with olive oil, salt and pepper.
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Set aside to cool.
For the honey lemon dressing
Place the ingredients together in a bowl or jar with a lid.
Vigorously shake or whisk until emulsified.
Putting together the salad
Place the carrots into a mixing bowl.
Break up the baked ricotta and add the dukkah.
Chop cilantro finely and add to the above.
Finally, add the honey lemon dressing and give it a good mix.
Taste for balance. If it needs a bit more salt, lemon or honey then add some until you are happy with the taste.
