Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
1 ball burrata cheese
2 cups arugula or mixed greens
2 tablespoons olive oil
1–2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
salt and pepper to taste

Optional:
fresh basil leaves
toasted nuts (like pine nuts or walnuts)

Directions

I start by arranging the arugula or mixed greens on a serving plate.

I place the burrata in the center and scatter the sliced strawberries around it. I gently tear the burrata slightly so it becomes creamy and spreads a bit.

I drizzle olive oil and balsamic glaze over the salad, then season with salt and pepper.

I finish by adding fresh basil and optional toasted nuts for extra flavor and texture. I serve it immediately while everything is fresh.

Variations

I sometimes add sliced avocado for extra creaminess. When I want more protein, I include grilled chicken . I also like using different berries like blueberries or raspberries for variety.

storage/reheating

I prefer assembling this salad fresh, but I can store the components separately in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. I don’t reheat it since it’s best served fresh.
