Italian-style fresh burrata is available at specialty cheese stores and . Consider buying the white truffle-honey burrata—simply divine. Prep: 30 minutes.
Ingredients:
20 (1/4-inch-thick) ripe heirloom tomato slices (about 5 tomatoes)
4 cups firmly packed baby arugula
1/3 english cucumber, halved lengthwise and cut crosswise into thin slices (1/2 cup)
4 teaspoons thinly sliced shallots
8 large fresh basil leaves, torn into small pieces
24 flat-leaf parsley leaves
2 1/2 cups crostini, sliced and broken into 1-inch pieces
6 tablespoons white balsamic vinaigrette
12 ounces fresh burrata or mozzarella cheese, sliced
20 cherry or grape tomatoes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Directions:
1. Arrange tomato slices in a circular pattern on 4 individual salad plates.
2. Combine arugula and next 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Drizzle White Balsamic Vinaigrette over greens, and toss well.
3. Top tomato slices evenly with greens mixture; arrange burrata cheese slices on top of greens. Add cherry tomatoes. Drizzle about 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil over each salad, and sprinkle with pepper.
4. *You may substitute large restaurant-style croutons, if desired.
