Creamy Ricotta Dip

Creamy Ricotta Dip
1 cup pine nuts, soaked overnight
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon water
1 scallion (green and white parts, remove and discard tip), minced
1-2 teaspoons fresh thyme
¼ teaspoon celtic sea salt

Rinse pine nuts in cold water; then discard both soaking and rinsing water
Place pine nuts in a food processor, along with lemon juice and water
Process for 1-2 minutes, scraping down side of processor frequently, until smooth
Process in scallions, thyme and salt, until texture of ricotta
Remove from food processor to a serving dish
Serve with your favorite dipping veggies
I had a bit of a challenge getting this mixture to process; if that happens to you, just add a bit more liquid (lemon juice or water) very sparingly until mixture blends more easily and keep scraping down the mixture into the center of the food processor.
