Strawberries, Lemon Ricotta, and Vanilla Dessert

I really enjoyed this easy strawberry dessert, but my wife was not wild about it. I found it at the Eating Well web site:(http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/strawberries_lemon_ricotta.html) It serves 4.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1 vanilla bean
3 tablespoons honey, or more to taste
2 teaspoons lemon juice
Pinch of salt
3 cups strawberries, hulled and quartered
2 cups part-skim, creamy ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons freshly grated lemon zest ( will probably take 2 lemons)

Directions

1. If using vanilla bean, halve lengthwise. Using the tip of a small knife, scrape the seeds from the pod into a medium bowl.  Otherwise, put the vanilla extract in the bowl. Add the honey, lemon juice, and salt to the bowl. Whisk until well combined. Add strawberries and stir to combine. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

2. Just before serving, combine ricotta and lemon zest in another bowl.

3.Taste strawberry mixture. If it's too tart, add a little more honey.

4. To serve, spoon 1/2 cup of the ricotta into each of four dessert bowls. Top each with about 1/3 cup of the strawberries. Serve immediately.
