Burrata Chopped Salad
Description
The Burrata Chopped Salad features a colorful mix of vegetables such as cherry tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and sweet orange bell pepper, combined with fresh basil, parsley, and scallions. A vinaigrette of olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, shallot, oregano, salt, and pepper dresses the vegetables, imparting tang and savory notes. Folding in torn burrata brings a soft creaminess that contrasts with the crunchy vegetables. The vinaigrette and fresh herbs create a lively accompaniment to the salad's mild, milky textured cheese.
This salad can be served immediately to preserve the burrata's softness or prepped in advance by holding off on adding the dressing and cheese until just before serving. It pairs well with grilled chicken or steak for an easy dinner entrée.
Because the burrata is delicate, tossing it in last prevents it from melting or breaking down. Adjust seasonings or add a final drizzle of olive oil before serving for extra richness.
