Burrata is an Italian cheese that has a soft outer layer. It consists of a creamy center that oozes yumminess, so you’re definitely in for a treat. When you dig in, I am sure you will be delighted with EVERY bite. This is a dish I like to make when I want something refreshing. Although it may look as if it may take quite some time to make, this salad could not be more straightforward since it requires NO cooking. Most of the work is just some prepping of the tomato and onion, and that is it!
Salad Ingredients
- 1 ball of burrata cheese, here is the link of the one we usually buy.
- arugula (the amount all depends on how big you want your salad to be).
- 1 tomato, diced, you can also use a handful of cherry tomatoes just slice them in half.
- 1/2 red onion, sliced
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar or glaze of choice
- 2 tbsp parmesan cheese, shaved. This is our favorite.
- Basil, chopped
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Rinse your arugula and lay it out on a platter or bowl (whichever you prefer), leaving some space in the middle to place the burrata.
- Drain the burrata and place in the middle of a platter or bowl.
- Add the tomato and onion.
- Top with shaved cheese.
- Add basil.
- Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
- Enjoy!
Note: You can also add other ingredients you might want in your salad, such as dried cranberries, crushed pistachios, or slivered almonds! I would suggest eating this right away to avoid soggy salad. I’ve also served this with fresh toasted bread, and it was a hit!
