Salad with Burrata
This Caprese-inspired salad with burrata, tomatoes, arugula and balsamic is equal parts creamy, peppery and refreshing. The best salad you'll eat!
Prep: 15 minutes
Total: 15 minutes
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
For the Burrata Salad:
- 5 ounces baby arugula about 5 cups
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes halved (about 2 cups), divided
- 8 ounces burrata cheese torn into rough pieces, divided
- ¼ cup tightly packed fresh basil leaves chopped or torn into pieces, divided
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze store bought or see notes for homemade
- Kosher salt and black pepper
For the Dressing:
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Place the arugula in a large bowl. Add half of the tomatoes, half of the burrata, and half of the basil.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup with a spout, stir together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Spoon lightly over the top of the salad, then toss to combine—you want everything to have a very light coating; about 3 tablespoons should do it.
- Scatter the remaining tomatoes, burrata, and basil over the top. Drizzle with the balsamic glaze. Serve immediately, with additional salt and pepper and dressing taste.
Notes
- To make balsamic glaze: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoon honey. Gently simmer over medium-low heat until thickened and reduced by a little more than half, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. You'll have a little extra (YUM!)
- TO STORE: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. I don’t recommend purposely making this salad in advance to serve later.
- TO FREEZE: This is not a recipe that freezes well. Enjoy it fresh!
