Good to know

Chef's tip

Take the burrata out of the fridge 15 min before serving for a creamier center 🧀. Cut it open only at the moment of serving to keep its texture.

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

Burrata, tomatoes and greens do not freeze well; the texture becomes watery and unpleasant after thawing.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Fresh ingredients quickly lose their texture and flavor. The bread soaks up liquid and softens. Assemble at serving time.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Same day

Prepare the components separately (wash the greens, cut the tomatoes) and assemble just before the meal for optimal freshness.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Not applicable, salad to be eaten cold.

Variations

Serve with toasted bread.
Add a splash of balsamic vinegar.
Finish with fresh basil.

Mistakes to avoid

Serving the burrata cut open ahead of time: place it whole in the center.
Forgetting to dry the greens and tomatoes.
Seasoning too early: season at the last moment.

Frequently asked questions

How do you make a burrata salad?

Wash and dry the tomatoes, greens and basil, halve the cherry tomatoes, arrange the greens and tomatoes on the plate, set the whole burrata in the center, and season with olive oil, salt and balsamic.

Which tomatoes should you choose?

250 g of red and yellow cherry tomatoes, halved, which bring color and a sweet-tart balance to the fresh burrata.

What should you serve with this salad?

With two slices of toasted bread. It is a cold starter or a light meal, ready in 10 minutes, with no cooking.

When should you add the basil?

Finish with the fresh basil leaves just before serving, to keep all their aroma and to stop them from blackening in the oil and balsamic vinegar.
