I love family dishes when everybody digs in and fights for the last bite. This salad is a good example of a versatile dish that can be served as a BBQ side dish or as a less formal entrée.
Make sure to always buy the regular type of ricotta, the light versions are just not as tasty.
Serve it with garlic-rubbed toasted bread on the BBQ.
