Herby Salad With Burrata Recipes

FRESH HERB SALAD WITH BURRATA

Steps:

• For the crostini: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the bread on a baking sheet in a single layer evenly spaced out. Drizzle the sliced bread with olive oil. Bake until the bread is crisp, about 10 minutes. Halfway through baking, flip the crostini and toast the other side. Remove from the oven.
• While the crostini is still warm, rub each slice of bread with the garlic and season with salt and pepper.
• For the herb salad: Make sure all of the herbs are washed and dried and place into a bowl. Sprinkle with the lemon juice and drizzle with the olive oil to lightly dress the greens. Season with salt and pepper.
• Hand tear the burrata over each crostini. Top the cheese with the fresh herb salad, taste and enjoy!

SOFT HERB SALAD

Steps:

• Up to a day before serving, wash the herbs and greens: Fill a large bowl or clean sink with plenty of cold water. Immerse the leaves, swish around to loosen any dirt, then gently lift out. Dry in a salad spinner or by spreading them on clean kitchen towels. (If working ahead, refrigerate the dry leaves in sealed plastic bags or containers. Add a paper towel to each bag to absorb excess water.)
• Melt butter in a frying pan until it sizzles. Add almonds. Sauté over low heat, until the almonds are golden and the butter is browned. Lift out almonds and drain on paper towels, reserving butter. (Butter can be kept for 1 day. Melt and cool again before assembling salad.)
• When ready to serve, place greens in a large bowl. Add salt, pepper, chile flakes, almonds, cooking butter, lemon juice and olive oil. Toss gently and season to taste, then serve immediately.
