Burrata Caprese Salad
This Burrata Caprese Salad centers on a creamy burrata cheese surrounded by a variety of sliced and halved tomatoes and fresh basil leaves. Lightly dressed with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar, it balances the richness of the cheese with bright, acidic notes from the tomatoes and dressing. The fresh basil adds a hint of herbal aroma, while the seasoning of kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper enhances the flavors. It serves as a simple yet fresh starter or side during warmer months or light meals.
