Ricotta salata is an aged, hard version of ricotta, which is drier and saltier than its fresh cousin. It goes well with the sweetness of the peas and the oily dressing.

- 5 1/2 ounces sugar snap peas, sliced lengthways
- 5 1/2 ounces radishes, quartered
- 1 avocado, cubed

- 2 ounces ricotta salata
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Dressing

- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Directions
For the salad
Cook the rice in salted water according to the packet instructions. Drain, then spread it out on a tray and leave to cool. Meanwhile, combine the ingredients for the dressing in a small bowl and season well.
In a large bowl, toss together the cooled rice, sugar snap peas, radishes, avocado, spring onions, lamb’s lettuce and dressing.
Taste and season, then pile onto a serving dish and shave over the ricotta salata.
