This Burrata Salad Is a Little Savory and a Little Sweet
It’s that time of year when berries are bursting out of their baskets, and burrata is super fresh and flavorful. We’re here to tell you to carpe that diem next time you see these ingredients at the market. Once you slice into burrata, you’ll understand why it is quite possibly the perfect cheese. It’s slightly less firm and just a touch more luxurious than the mozzarella you know and love, because it’s been enriched with fresh cream. Burrata cheese pairs well with almost all of summer’s bounty, but we especially love it as a beautiful centerpiece in this summer burrata salad with crunchy arugula and bright berries and a drizzle of balsamic vinaigrette.
What Is Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing Made Of?
A well-balanced vinaigrette is tangy and acidic, with a base of oil and vinegar. We add a touch of sweetness with honey, texture with minced shallot, and a little bite from the stone-ground mustard. Trust us, you’ll be looking for things to dip into this simple and flavorful dressing. Our balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing recipe calls for white wine vinegar and white balsamic vinegar, which results in an easy vinaigrette that is lighter and crisper than one made with a dark balsamic vinegar.
This Might Be The Best Way to Serve Burrata, Not Kidding
You’ll be in fresh berry and cheese heaven in no time. Here’s how to make your new favorite burrata salad:
Whisk all of the ingredients for the dressing together in a small bowl.
Toss arugula and berries with half of the dressing and transfer to your serving dish.
Using your hands, gently pull the burrata into pieces and scatter over the salad.
Finish with a jazzy sprinkle of pistachios and a final drizzle of dressing all over!
You Won’t Need Many Tools To Make The Perfect Burrata Salad
A large mixing bowl to mix everything together

Sharp knife for a minimal amount of mincing
For the table, you’ll need a large platter or large shallow bowl. This salad is a real feast for the eyes.
