What is Burrata Cheese?

Burrata Cheese is fresh mozzarella cheese filled with butter and cream inside. It’s very rich and creamy and it is divine!

• Burrata cheese is high in protein!
• In fact, 100g of Burrata Cheese contains 18.7g of protein. 😉

It originates from Bari, in the region of Puglia, which is located in Southern Italy. Nowadays, you can find burrata cheese in containers in every supermarket.

How to make Arugula Artichoke & Burrata Salad?

For this salad, you will only need 2 ingredients for the dressing, plus 5 additional main ingredients to turn this salad into a sensational one!

Ingredients needed for this tasty salad:

• ARUGULA – choose a package of already cleaned fresh arugula to make this a quick salad. If you cannot find it already clean, just rinse and spin out the excess water before placing it into the bowl.
• ARTICHOKES HEARTS – choose a jar of marinated artichoke hearts. They are loaded with flavor and you will need a least 1 cup of marinated artichokes. Be sure to allow them to drain a little before topping the salad.
• BURRATA CHEESE – you will need 1 container, which contains either one large or 2 smaller balls, (8 ounces).
• KALAMATA OLIVES – choose pitted ones and about 1/4 cup is enough and not overpowering.
• EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL – choose a good quality olive oil for the maximum flavor.
• BALSAMIC VINEGAR – choose a good brand of balsamic for a sweet, savory flavor. Balsamic offers the perfect sweetness and balances the peppery arugula.
• SEASONINGS – we used a good pinch of Himalayan salt, and some fresh cracked black pepper on top, at the end.
• BASIL – freshly cut ribbons of fresh basil are added on top to add additional flavor to this salad and it works perfectly as a garnish on top.
• BALSAMIC GLAZE – this sweet-tasting balsamic glaze is thick and adds the final touch! Drizzle over this entire salad before serving.

QUICK Directions To Assemble this salad…

(*Full recipe card below!)

1. Place the arugula into your salad bowl. Next, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and drizzle the extra virgin olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Toss it a few times to mix it.

2. Add the kalamata olives on top.

3. Spread some marinated artichoke hearts on top.

4. Lastly, place the balls of burrata cheese on top.

5. Next, cut the burrata cheese in half (giving you 4 equal parts) and gently spread open each one. Add the chopped fresh basil on top, along with some freshly cracked black pepper.

6. Finally, drizzle with the balsamic glaze over the entire salad. Then serve!

Quick Note:

The balsamic vinegar is different from the balsamic glaze. These are 2 different ingredients. But work very well together in this salad.

This salad is nutrient-dense and loaded with protein!

The perfect balance of all these flavors creates a fabulously easy and delicious-tasting salad!

Try it – you won’t be disappointed!

ENJOY!!
