Description

Italian summer salad Burrata & Oven Roasted Tomato Salad celebrates fresh Mediterranean ingredients with simple elegance. Fresh herbs and creamy cheese complement sweet roasted tomatoes, offering you a delightful culinary experience.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 8 oz (226 g) fresh burrata cheese
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) balsamic glaze
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and heat the oven to 400°F (200°C) for roasting tomatoes.
  2. Spread cherry tomatoes evenly across the lined baking sheet, coating them generously with olive oil and seasoning with salt and pepper.
  3. Roast tomatoes for 20-25 minutes until they develop a slight char and release their natural juices, creating a concentrated flavor.
  4. Transfer the caramelized tomatoes to a serving platter, allowing them to cool slightly and release their aromatic essence.
  5. Scatter fresh basil leaves around the roasted tomatoes, creating a vibrant green backdrop.
  6. Position the creamy burrata cheese centrally on the platter, allowing its soft texture to contrast with the roasted tomatoes.
  7. Enhance the dish by drizzling high-quality olive oil and a rich balsamic glaze over the cheese and tomatoes.
  8. Serve immediately to preserve the warmth of the tomatoes and the delicate texture of the burrata, creating a harmonious Mediterranean-inspired salad.

Notes

  • Roast tomatoes just until they start to burst for maximum flavor concentration and caramelized edges.
  • Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil to enhance the overall taste profile of the salad.
  • Cut burrata right before serving to maintain its creamy, luscious texture and prevent premature leaking.
  • Opt for fresh, in-season cherry tomatoes for the most vibrant and sweet roasted result.
