Burrata Tomato Salad
Did you know the name burrata comes from the Italian word “burro” meaning butter? That’s because burrata cheese is a variation of classic mozzarella that is stuffed with a creamy filling made of cream and small curds of mozzarella, reminiscent of soft butter.
Ingredients
- 3-4 large burrata balls, about 16 ounces each ball
- 1 baguette
- 16 ounces cherry tomatoes halved
- 3 Tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 3 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 small red onion finely minced
- 2 garlic cloves finely minced
- 2-3 stems of parsley finely minced
- 1/2 cup fresh basil finely minced
For garnish:
- flaky sea salt
- freshly cracked black pepper
- fresh basil
- balsamic glaze or pesto
Instructions
- Cut each baguette loaf into 1-inch thick slices. Arrange in a single layer on a large baking tray. Brush each side with olive oil. Then, place on the center rack in the oven and broil on high for 1-2 minutes. Keep a close eye so they don't burn. Flip, and broil again for 1-2 minutes until golden or desired crustiness. Set aside.1 baguette
- Make the marinade. Finely mince the garlic cloves, red onion, parsley and basil. When you think you’ve chopped it small enough, keep going. Then, add all the marinade ingredients into a large serving bowl. Add the cut cherry tomatoes and toss to combine. Refrigerate and marinate for at least 30 minutes, but the longer, the better.3 Tablespoon red wine vinegar, 3 Tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 small red onion, 2 garlic cloves, 2-3 stems of parsley, 1/2 cup fresh basil, 16 ounces cherry tomatoes
- Once the tomatoes have marinated and released some of its juices, place the fresh burrata balls into the center of the serving bowl, surrounding the tomatoes and marinade. I like to rip a few burrata balls on the sides for aesthetic taste.3-4 large burrata balls, about 16 ounces each ball
