Burrata Caprese

Burrata caprese

This Burrata Caprese is a simple, yet elegant summer salad, combines perfectly ripe tomatoes with fresh, aromatic basil and creamy, unctuous burrata cheese.

Gather all Ingredients

To get started, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • Tomatoes are a good source of several vitamins and minerals. The Health Benefits of Tomatoes.
  • Fresh burrata cheese is a delicious Italian style cheese, traditionally made into small pouches. Each pouch encases a thick center of creamy cheese that oozes out when you slice into it.

Burrata caprese: Frequently Asked Questions

How is Burrata Caprese different from traditional Caprese salad?

The primary difference is the cheese. Traditional Caprese uses fresh mozzarella, while Burrata Caprese uses burrata, providing a creamier and more luxurious texture.

Can you make Burrata Caprese in advance?

It’s best to prepare Burrata Caprese just before serving to maintain the freshness of the ingredients, especially the burrata, which should be served at room temperature for optimal flavor and texture.

Can I add other ingredients to Burrata Caprese?

While the classic recipe is simple, you can enhance it with ingredients like arugula, roasted red peppers, prosciutto, or fruits like peaches for a unique twist.

What is the best way to store leftover Burrata Caprese?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. However, the burrata will lose some of its creaminess, and the tomatoes may become soggy.
