Burrata salad

Burrata is a fresh Italian cheese made from mozzarella and cream. The outer layer is a thin sheet of mozzarella, while the inside is a soft, creamy mixture of mozzarella and cream. It is typically served fresh, with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt.

Burrata salad is a dish that originated in the southern Italian region of Puglia. The salad is made with fresh burrata cheese, tomatoes, and a simple dressing of olive oil and vinegar. It is a popular dish in Puglia, and can be found on the menus of many restaurants in the region.

The history of the burrata salad is a bit unclear, but it is thought to have originated in the early 20th century. It is believed that the salad was created by farmers in Puglia who were looking for a way to use up the excess mozzarella cheese that they had. The salad quickly became a popular dish in the region, and has since spread to other parts of Italy and beyond.

Advice

To make a delicious burrata salad, start by selecting the freshest ingredients. Pick a quality burrata cheese, and then add in flavorful vegetables like arugula, basil, tomatoes, and onions. Make sure to properly season the salad with salt, pepper, and a good quality olive oil. For a nice crunch, try adding toasted nuts or croutons. Finally, garnish with a sprinkle of your favorite herbs and enjoy!
