Burrata is such a special treat, consisting of a thin mozzarella shell filled with creamy cheese. When you cut into it, the cream spills out to create a rich dressing for the rest of the salad. It is an indulgent way to start any meal and always feels like a little taste of Italy right in your own kitchen.

Because the ingredients are so simple, I recommend using the best produce you can find. Make sure your tomatoes are perfectly ripe and juicy, and stick to baby arugula for its delicate texture. This salad is best enjoyed as soon as you assemble it so the cheese stays fresh and creamy.

Ingredients

3 cups baby arugula
1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
1 large ball of burrata cheese
Extra virgin olive oil
White wine vinegar
Kosher salt
Freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

1
Arrange the baby arugula on a large serving platter to create a bed of greens.
2
Place the whole ball of burrata cheese right in the center of the arugula.
3
Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes around the cheese.
4
Drizzle the salad generously with extra virgin olive oil and a splash of white wine vinegar.
5
Finish by sprinkling the dish with a little kosher salt and cracked pepper.
6
Serve immediately and cut into the burrata at the table so the creamy center can spill out over the greens.

💡 Tips

This salad should be eaten immediately because the creamy center of the burrata does not hold up well once cut. If you want to prepare ahead of time, you can slice your tomatoes and keep them in the fridge, then assemble the final platter right before your guests arrive.
