Method
Wash the arugula3 and cherry2 tomatoes, then drain and pat dry thoroughly.
Halve the cherry2 tomatoes.
Whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and honey, add a pinch of black pepper, and mix until smooth.
Arrange the arugula3 and tomatoes on a plate, place the burrata1 in the center, and scatter the prosciutto4 around it.
Drizzle with the dressing and serve immediately with a slice of bread.
Tips
- Why it works
- Pat dry the arugula and tomatoes to prevent soggy greens and watery dressing from diluting the vinaigrette.
- Substitutions
- Use goat cheese instead of burrata for a firmer texture; swap prosciutto for thinly sliced ham if unavailable.
- Common mistakes
- Overcrowding the plate makes the salad look messy and hides the burrata’s creaminess. Space ingredients evenly.
- Storing and reheating
- Eat fresh; burrata weeps and loses texture after 1 day. Reheat prosciutto separately if saving components.
- Serve with
- Pair with crusty bread for dipping and a glass of dry white wine like Pinot Grigio.
