Elegant Burrata Cheese Salad: Restaurant Quality at Home!
Creating a Delicious Burrata Cheese and Tomato Salad with Fresh Ingredients
Burrata cheese, often pricey at restaurants, can be enjoyed affordably and deliciously at home. I’ll introduce you to a simple yet healthy recipe that’s perfect for a special occasion or a delightful brunch.
Salad Ingredients- 10 cherry tomatoes
- 2 handfuls of arugula (about 20-30g)
- 20 fresh blueberries
- 1 fresh burrata cheese ball
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gently wash the arugula leaves and pat them dry. Trim off any tough stems and then cut the leaves in half to make them bite-sized and visually appealing. This ensures easy eating.
Step 2
Next, prepare the cherry tomatoes. Wash 10 cherry tomatoes thoroughly under running water, remove their stems, and then carefully cut each one in half. Try to cut them cleanly to avoid losing too much of the juicy insides.
Step 3
Arrange your serving plate. Start by creating a bed of the prepared arugula, followed by the halved cherry tomatoes scattered attractively over the greens. Finally, gently place the whole burrata cheese ball in the center of the salad. Be careful not to break the cheese as you place it.
Step 4
Now, let’s add the blueberries for a touch of sweetness and color. Sprinkle about 20 fresh blueberries over the salad. This not only adds a beautiful visual element but also complements the other flavors wonderfully. Feel free to adjust the amount of blueberries to your liking.
Step 5
Let’s make the dressing! In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of flavorful extra virgin olive oil, and 2 tablespoons of tangy balsamic vinegar. Add 1/2 teaspoon of honey for a touch of sweetness; you can adjust this amount based on your preference. Whisk everything together until well combined.
Step 6
Drizzle the prepared dressing evenly over the salad. Finish with a light pinch of salt and a grind of black pepper. Your stunning burrata cheese salad, rivaling any restaurant’s offering, is now complete! Enjoy the fresh, pure flavors.
