On a large plate, spread a thin layer of the ricotta cheese.
Cut the summer squash into chunks and place atop the ricotta cheese.
Sprinkle the sun dried tomatoes and torn basil leaves over the squash and ricotta.
Finish with a pinch of Durant Fleur de Sel, a few turns of fresh cracked pepper, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a drizzle of more Durant Basil Olive Oil.
