The Magic of Burrata
If there were ever a cheese that screamed SUMMER, I full on believe it would be burrata. Mozzarella-esque cheese on the outside, creamy lush ricotta-like cheese oozing on the inside…I mean how could you not just want to devour it with a knife and fork and call it dinner? It’s so insanely irresistible! It’s like a little cheese package with the gift of more cheese on the inside. Greatest gift ever?? I think so.
While this cheese is the perfect accompaniment for summer tomatoes and bread, the magic doesn’t have to stop there. It also pairs well with stone fruits like peaches and plums, melon like cantaloupe, cucumbers, beets, carrots, grapes and figs to name a few. And I especially love adding it to salads for a fresh creaminess that will take each bite to the next level of decadence.

Ingredients
Pesto Vinaigrette:
1/4 c. pesto (homemade or store-bought)
2 Tbsp. EVOO
For the Salad:
2 c. arugula
3 c. baby spring greens
2 c. snap peas, sliced at an angle (about 8 oz.)
1/4 c. thinly sliced mint Leaves
8 oz. burrata
1/2 c. toasted pistachios, chopped
Reserve balsamic
Serve with Grilled Garlic Bread:
4 slices rustic bread
EVOO
1 clove garlic sliced in half
Instructions
- To make the pesto vinaigrette, whisk together the pesto and EVOO. Set aside.
- In a serving bowl, toss together the arugula, spring greens, snap peas and mint. Gently place the burrata in the middle of the salad and tear it half or into quarters using your hands. Drizzle the pesto vinaigrette over the salad, top it with chopped pistachios, and finish it with a drizzling of reserve balsamic.
- For the garlic bread, lightly brush the bread slices with EVOO. Heat your grill over medium high heat. You could also use a cast iron pan on the stove-top. Place the bread slices on the grates or in the pan and grill until char marks appear. Flip and continue cooking until charred on the other side. Remove from the grill or pan and rub the cut side of the garlic onto the warm bread a few times. Serve with the salad and enjoy!
