Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 balls Burrata cheese
- 5 cups Mixed baby greens (spinach, arugula, and kale)
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 large Lemon
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
Instructions
Wash and dry the fresh baby greens thoroughly. Place them in a large salad bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the greens.
Peel the cucumber, slice it into thin rounds, and add to the salad bowl.
Core and thinly slice the red bell pepper, then add it to the salad mix.
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and dice the flesh into bite-sized pieces. Add the avocado to the salad.
Cut the burrata balls in half to allow the creamy insides to ooze out slightly. Arrange the burrata halves evenly over the salad.
Squeeze the juice of the lemon into a small bowl, making sure to remove any seeds. Add the olive oil, salt, and pepper, whisking until well combined to make the dressing.
Pour the lemon vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss to combine all ingredients evenly.
Scatter fresh basil leaves over the top of the salad for an aromatic finish.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the salad artfully, just before serving, for added flavor and visual appeal.
Serve immediately and enjoy this vibrant, heart-healthy burrata salad!
