Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Burrata cheese
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 4 cups Mixed salad greens
- 2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 spray Olive oil spray
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 4 slices Crusty whole-grain bread (optional)
Instructions
Start by preparing the low-fat balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and honey over medium heat. Allow it to simmer for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes, then set them aside.
Scatter the mixed salad greens evenly onto a large serving platter or into a salad bowl.
Place the burrata cheese at the center of the salad greens.
Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes around the burrata on top of the greens.
Spray a light mist of olive oil over the salad to help distribute flavor without adding excess fat.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the salad. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Tear or chop the fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the top of the salad.
Finally, drizzle the cooled balsamic glaze over the entire salad, especially focusing on the burrata.
Serve immediately with optional crusty whole-grain bread on the side for dipping or as an accompaniment.
