Pesto Arugula Burrata Salad
A truly special salad that will have you yearning for more once it's gone. The great news is that this salad comes together in under 10 minutes in the summer when leftovers are abundant. Give it a shot and let me know what you think.
Ingredients
- 3 cups arugula lightly packed
- 1 zucchini grilled and diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 lemon fresh
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 ball burrata cheese large
- 3 tablespoons pesto store bought or fresh
- 1/4 cup pine nuts toasted
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1/4 cup Parmesan shaved
Instructions
- Add the arugula to a large platter. Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over top. Sprinkle 1/2 of the salt.
- Slice the leftover grilled zucchini into bite-sized pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Place on the perimeter of the platter, leaving room for the burrata in the center.
- Place the fresh burrata in the center of the dish.
- Drizzle the pesto over top. Sprinkle with the shaved Parmesan cheese.
- Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
Quick tip: this is a great salad to take to a BBQ or summer gathering... but Burrata cheese does not like heat. The best plan is to take the salad and add the burrata cheese once you have arrived. Not only will you keep the cheese cooler for longer, but you'll look great adding this amazing ingredient, then drizzling the zesty green pesto over top. Be the star of the party!
