Creamy Burrata Cheese Caprese Salad
#EasySalad #HowToMakeBurrataSalad #HomePartyMenu
Here’s a super simple Burrata cheese salad recipe that you can enjoy like you’re at a restaurant, right at home. We place a generous ball of creamy Burrata cheese atop fresh salad greens and sweet cherry tomatoes for a rich texture. A delightful blend of sweet and tangy balsamic glaze and fragrant oriental dressing creates a complex flavor profile. If the dressing seems insufficient, feel free to add pepper, garlic herb salt, basil powder, and lemon juice to adjust to your liking. If you don’t have oriental dressing, you can easily make your own by mixing soy sauce, olive oil, sugar, and mirin (or white wine). The creamy richness of the burrata cheese, combined with the deep flavor of the balsamic glaze, is a match made in heaven, and it pairs wonderfully with fresh tomatoes. Sprinkle some sliced almonds for an added crunch, and you’ll have a stunning salad that’s perfect for a simple yet special home party.
Salad Ingredients- 1 ball Burrata cheese (approx. 100-125g)
- 10 cherry tomatoes
- 60g fresh salad greens mix
- 2 Tbsp sliced almonds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the cherry tomatoes thoroughly, remove the stems, and cut them in half for easy eating. Gently rinse the salad greens mix under running water and drain them completely to remove excess moisture. Place the prepared cherry tomatoes and drained salad greens in a bowl. (Optional) Sprinkle the greens with garlic herb salt, black pepper, basil powder, lemon juice, and olive oil, then toss lightly to lightly season the vegetables. This step enhances the natural flavor of the greens and improves their harmony with the dressing. If you don’t have oriental dressing, you can mix 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp olive oil, 1/2 Tbsp sugar, and 1/2 Tbsp mirin or white wine to create a simple dressing.
Step 2
Arrange the seasoned salad greens and tomatoes attractively on a serving plate. Create a space in the center and carefully place the Burrata cheese ball. It’s important to preserve the visual appeal of the Burrata before breaking it open. Making a shallow cut on top of the cheese will allow its creamy interior to gently flow out, making it even more appetizing.
Step 3
Drizzle the oriental dressing over the Burrata cheese. Next, artfully drizzle the sweet and rich balsamic glaze in a zigzag pattern, adding both visual appeal and depth of flavor. Finally, sprinkle generously with crunchy sliced almonds to complete this exquisite Burrata cheese salad. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for an even more vibrant and aromatic presentation.
