Equipment

Ingredients

1 burrata
4 cups spring mix packed
1 pint cherry tomatoes
flaky sea salt to taste
black pepper to taste
20 fresh basil leaves or to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin, or to taste
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze homemade or store-bought

Instructions

Balsamic Glaze

Make one recipe for balsamic glaze or measure store-bought glaze. Reserve 2 tablespoons (or more to taste) for the burrata salad and refrigerate the remaining glaze.

Burrata Salad

Halve the cherry tomatoes.
Arrange the spring mix, fresh basil, and cherry tomatoes on a plate.
Add the burrata.
Drizzle the salad with balsamic glaze, olive oil, freshly ground black pepper, a pinch of flakey sea salt, and serve.

Notes

General

If your balsamic glaze is taking a long time to reduce, you can add a bit of sugar to speed up the process.
You can swap the spring mix for arugula or another similar green.
If you can't find burrata, try using a fresh mozzarella ball.

Storage

Fridge I recommend storing the salad greens and basil separate from the olive oil and balsamic glaze, and adding the cheese when ready to serve. Fresh burrata should last for 5 days.
Freezer I do not recommend freezing this dish.
