Burrata is the Difference Between
Eating Like a Rabbit and Eating Like a Kween
So many of my favorite foods are at the peak of their season right now, including juicy heirloom tomatoes. Sure, you can enjoy all of these in a salad with nothing but a drizzle of good olive oil and a sprinkling of salt and pepper and it will be delicious. But to take full advantage of these sweet, acidic jewels of summer with something fresh and creamy,
enter Burrata.
Burrata will go with virtually any summer vegetable. Tomatoes are naturally complimentary, but if you’re not a fan of them, opt for peaches or even roasted tomatillos.
Be sure to counter the rich cream with enough acid – a swirl of balsamic vinegar or squeeze of lemon juice will help.
