FAQ’S

What’s the difference between mozzarella and burrata cheese?

Fresh mozzarella and burrata are types of semi-soft Italian cheese made from cow or water buffalo milk. They are both creamy and delicious, but burrata takes it to the next level! Burrata is essentially a pouch of mozzarella but filled with curd and cream. It makes for an extra silky, soft and creamy cheese, perfect for salads!

What are the best tomatoes for a Burrata Salad?

For the tomatoes, I used different colors of heirloom tomatoes. They are meaty and vibrant, with a subtle sweetness that works with the peppery arugula. I also used the multi-colored cherry tomato pack.

Another ingredient I used was corn. You can use fresh boiled or grilled corn. You can use canned corn if you don’t have fresh corn in hand. I just boiled some sweet corn.

Should burrata be served warm?

Burrata is best served at room temperature. Roughly 30 mins before serving, take it out of the fridge and let it come up to ambient temperature.

When adding to the salad you can tear open some of the burrata and leave a couple closed. I do that to make things look more interesting and delicious!

Ingredients

  • 3 large heirloom Tomatoes mixed colors
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes mixed colors
  • 1 cup corn
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil to drizzle in the end
  • fresh cracked black pepper

DRESSING

  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/8 tsp salt just a pinch
  • 2 tsp. lemon juice
  • 2 tsp balsamic vinaigrette

ARUGULA SALAD

  • 4 cups arugula salad
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tbsp. lemon juice
  • pinch salt

Instructions

  • To prepare for the salad, wash and dry the tomatoes. Also wash and drain the arugula salad.
  • In a bowl, place the arugula salad, drizzle some olive oil, dash of salt, a squeeze of lemon on top of them and then toss to coat well. Set that aside.
  • For the tomatoes, thinly slice the heirloom tomatoes as show in the photos (horizontally), cut the cherry tomatoes into equal halves and have them ready.
  • Place the bed of arugula salad that you mixed first thing on the plate. Place the slices of heirloom tomatoes apart from each other, leaving space for other things to go in between. Then place the burrata cheeses around. You can tear open some and leave a couple closed.
  • Fill in little gaps with the cherry tomatoes and corn. Drizzle the dressing around, drizzle a little bit more olive oil on top and crack some fresh black pepper over the salad. Place the basil leaves on top of the salad for garnishing.

Notes

  • Thicker balsamic vinegar means the dressing will stay in place better, and those dark stripes look so appetizing across the salad!
