Burrata Caprese Salad (Easy Restaurant-Style Summer Salad)
This Burrata Caprese Salad feels like the kind of gorgeous summer appetizer you’d order at a little Italian restaurant — creamy burrata, juicy heirloom tomatoes, fresh basil pesto, and a sweet homemade balsamic glaze all layered together on one beautiful platter. It looks impressive, but it’s secretly so simple to make. The rich burrata melts right into the seasoned tomatoes while the pesto, olive oil, and balsamic glaze add incredible flavor to every bite. Serve it with warm crusty bread and watch it disappear. If you love fresh summer recipes like this, try my Mediterranean Salad, Harvest Salad, Italian Pasta
Rezept
Vorbereitung ca. 25 MinutenKochzeit ca. 13 Minuten
Zutaten:
- Salad
- 2 balls (8 ounces each) burrata cheese
- 4–5 large heirloom tomatoes, (cut into thick slices)
- 1 teaspoon fine salt, (divided)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- fresh basil leaves, (for garnish)
- 1-2 tablespoons good olive oil, (for finishing)
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cups fresh basil leaves
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup pine nuts or walnuts
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/3 cup olive oil, (plus more as needed)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Arbeitsschritte:
- Make the balsamic glaze: Add the balsamic vinegar and honey to a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until reduced by about half and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat and let cool; it will continue to thicken as it sits.
- Make the pesto: Add the basil, Parmesan, pine nuts, garlic, olive oil, and salt to a food processor or blender. Blend until finely chopped, scraping down the sides as needed. Add a little more olive oil, if necessary, until the pesto is spoonable but still thick.
- Season the tomatoes: Arrange the tomato slices on a serving platter. Sprinkle them lightly with some of the flaky sea salt and let them sit for 5 minutes. This draws out their juices and makes the tomatoes taste sweeter and more flavorful.
- Add the burrata: Tear the burrata into large, creamy pieces and arrange them over the tomatoes.
- Finish the salad: Spoon dollops of pesto over the tomatoes and burrata. Drizzle with the balsamic glaze and a little good olive oil. Finish with the remaining flaky salt, black pepper, and fresh basil leaves. Serve immediately.
