Today’s recipe is simple as can be, easy can be, yet tasty as can be!

Burrata Caprese

Don’t think of this as another salad recipe, it’s rather a show stopping plate! A perfect starter or appetizer to any meal, or a luscious side dish. It’s one of those recipes you can easily customize with seasonal fruits, or different salad dressings so it can be made endlessly!

I’m making it today with the classic Caprese flavors and a simple balsamic dressing similar to the one I used in the Burrata Salad or a basic balsamic olive oil mix like with those Caprese Skewers.

Burrata Caprese Ingredients

Burrata is a fresh soft cheese from Italy. It comes in a round shape with a fresh mozzarella shell and a creamy curd interior. When you break open that mozzarella shell, the creamy curd comes oozing out. You can eat it as it is, or with  Pasta, in a Salad,  Pizza, and so much more!

How to Make Burrata Caprese

The caprese salad  is one of Italy’s staple and it’s named after the island of Capri. Caprese comes in many forms, you can have  Caprese Pizza which combines the same flavors of the salad. Also Chicken Caprese is a succulent delicious chicken dinner that you will ENJOY more than you think! Caprese Skewers is like having bite size flavors of Caprese on a stick.

Is burrata cheese similar to mozzarella?

Burrata cheese is in fact a round of mozzarella cheese, but with a cream curd interior. So imagine a ball of fresh mozzarella cheese that cuts open and the inside is a creamy curd that oozes out. It’s much tastier than mozzarella and you’ll notice the different  textures and taste when you try burrata!

You can serve burrata so many ways, just over your garlic bread, salads, pizzas, pastas, roast veggies and more! Here are some of our favorite ways to enjoy it:

  • burrata cheese
  • Burrata Pizza
  • Burrata Salad
  • Burrata Pasta

Do you eat the skin of burrata?

Yes! Absolutely! It’s made out of fresh mozzarella so it’s tasty, stringy and so good!

Do you serve burrata warm or cold?

It’s best served at room temperature so you can fully enjoy the taste and textures of this gorgeous cheese. I love to keep it at room temperature 30 mins before serving. My other favorite way is to serve it over a hot dish like Burrata Pasta and watch as the cheese gently starts to soften up into the hot pasta. SO GOOD!

Ingredients

Burrata Caprese

  • 4 cups cherry tomatoes cut in half
  • 2 cups basil leaves
  • 1 cup croutons garlic croutons are my favorite

Seasoning & Dressing

  • 1/8 teaspoon chilli flakes Optional
  • 1/3 cup olive oil extra virgin Moroccan Mina Olive oil
  • 2-3 Tablespoons balsamic syrup

Instructions

  • Prepare the ingredients and bring a large salad plate. Flat plates are much better than a deep salad bowl for this recipe
  • Start by arranging the tomatoes and basil as the base of the Caprese.
  • Add in the croutons and toss them well. And then top with the burrata.
  • Season the entire salad with the simple seasoning and drizzle generously the olive oil and balsamic syrup.
  • You really don't need to toss this salad, rather cut through the burrata and begin serving.
  • Serve a chunk of burrata cheese with the remaining ingredients. ENJOY
