Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 balls (about 100g each) Burrata cheese
- 300 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium English cucumber
- 1 small Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 100 grams Kalamata olives
Instructions
Start by washing the cherry tomatoes and the cucumber. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the cucumber if desired, then slice it into thin rounds and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Peel the red onion and slice it thinly. Add the sliced onion to the salad bowl.
Pit and slice the Kalamata olives, then add them to the salad mixture.
Tear the fresh basil leaves into small pieces, adding them to the salad.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the bowl. Toss gently to combine all the flavors.
Arrange the burrata balls on a serving platter. Gently tear the burrata to let the creamy interior spill out slightly.
Spoon the salad mixture around the burrata, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
Serve immediately, allowing guests to scoop creamy burrata with the salad.
