What is Burrata Salad?
Burrata is happiness. Seriously though, this cows milk cheese is similar to fresh mozzarella but made with extra heavy cream in the middle which gives recipes a rich, creamy flavor & texture.
Cut the burrata into quarters (or more). It is firmer on the outside and melty creamy inside.
Combine summer’s bounty with freshly picked garden tomatoes or heirloom tomatoes, basil, and greens at their peak of freshness in this colorful salad!
Dress this salad simply with olive oil, sea salt, pepper and a bit of balsamic glaze or vinegar.
Add grilled chicken, chopped salami, or sliced prosciutto and make it a main dish!
