Blackberry and Ricotta Crostini

This dish is deliciously simple yet fabulously tasty. The slight tartness of the blackberries against the sweet ricotta and fresh mint is sure to be a crowd pleaser. Feel free to mix it up with different berries — blueberries and basil would be a lovely alternative.
