Print Recipe

A light, refreshing summer salad combining juicy strawberries, creamy burrata, peppery arugula, fresh basil, and a tangy balsamic dressing. Perfect for quick, easy meals that impress.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese
  • 4 cups arugula
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 2 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts

Instructions

  1. Rinse about 2 cups of fresh strawberries under cold water and pat dry. Hull and slice into ¼ inch thick pieces.
  2. Rinse 4 cups of arugula and a handful of fresh basil leaves thoroughly. Spin or pat dry to remove excess water.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar and 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil until emulsified. Add a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  4. In a large bowl, combine arugula, basil leaves, and sliced strawberries. Drizzle half of the balsamic dressing over the greens and gently toss to coat evenly.
  5. Tear the burrata cheese into bite-sized chunks and scatter over the top of the salad, handling gently to keep its creamy texture intact.
  6. Drizzle the remaining balsamic dressing over the burrata and strawberries. Sprinkle a little more sea salt and freshly ground black pepper on top.
  7. If using, sprinkle toasted pine nuts over the salad as a final touch.
  8. Serve immediately for best texture and freshness.

Notes

Use fresh burrata for best texture; fresh strawberries preferred but thaw frozen gently if needed. Toss greens with dressing just before serving to avoid sogginess. Handle burrata and strawberries gently to maintain texture. Optional toasted pine nuts add crunch.
