Place the ricotta, olive oil, lemon zest, and salt in a bowl. Use a hand mixer to whip the mixture until it becomes smooth and airy, about 2 minutes.
Transfer the whipped ricotta to a serving dish. Drizzle with honey and, if desired, sprinkle with a pinch of extra lemon zest or chopped basil.
Serve immediately with crackers, toasted bread, or raw vegetables for dipping.
