Ingredients- 8 Cherry Tomatoes (choose fresh, firm ones)
- 1 Ball of Burrata Cheese (keep chilled)
- 20g Arugula (rinse lightly under cold water and pat dry)
- 3 Green Olives (pitted olives will make preparation easier)
- 1 Tbsp White Balsamic Glaze (for a touch of sweetness and tang)
- Pinch of Salt (to taste)
- Pinch of Freshly Ground Black Pepper (enhances the aroma and flavor)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the cherry tomatoes thoroughly. Remove the stems and slice each tomato in half. Arrange the halved tomatoes neatly around the rim of your serving plate, creating a beautiful border. Think of them like petals of a flower for an extra touch of elegance.
Step 2
Next, generously pile the prepared arugula on top of the tomatoes. The fresh, slightly peppery flavor of arugula will add a wonderful depth to the salad.
Step 3
Now, gently arrange the tomatoes and arugula so they are well-distributed and not overly crowded. This ensures that the vibrant red of the tomatoes and the fresh green of the arugula are both visible, making the salad visually appealing.
Step 4
Place the ball of burrata cheese gently in the center of the salad. You can lightly press it to allow some of the creamy interior to peek out, making it even more inviting. Arrange the 3 pitted green olives next to the burrata cheese to add a contrasting color and texture.
Step 5
Finally, drizzle the white balsamic glaze evenly over the entire salad. This glaze will tie all the flavors together with its delightful sweet and tangy profile, adding a refreshing finish.
Step 6
Season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to your preference. Your stunning Tomato Burrata Salad is now complete! Enjoy this delightful dish that’s as pleasing to the eyes as it is to the palate.
