This morning end of July summer decided to show off once again w/ sun & an endless blue sky – after experiencing some really rainy days during the last week resp. weekend. So I thought salad might be a good choice for dinner …

I happened to have fresh salad leaves in my fridge together w/ some burrata as well. So let’s gor for a fresh & light meal tonight.

We’ve got a green component, a meat component & a cheese component …
Cheese: I rely on burrata, the little creamy sibling of mozzarella.

What do we need & what do we need to do?

We start w/ some fresh mixed salad leaves.

Clean them, trim them, dry them in a salad spinner & add some finely chopped spring onions.

Grab a wonderful burrata, skip the liquid& let it rest for a moment.

Then the meat … I had wonderful Italian prosciutto crudo very thinly sliced.

I prepared a dressing out of olive oil, balsamic vinegar & sweet French mustard (shake, baby shake!).

The dressing marched in the salt bowl & was thoroughly mixed w/ the salad leaves & the chopped spring onions.

We are 2 of us – so I arranged the salad leaves on 2 plates.
(From now on you’ll see only one of the plates!)

Next step: Pull the prosciutto crudo in pieces & arrange on top of the plates resp. the salad leaves.

Next step: Now pull the burrata in pieces & arrange on top.
Be careful because burrata is very soft & creamy & runny …

Enjoy!

Notes
Burrata:  Careful – burrata is very soft & especially creamy inside. It’ll be a little mess to pull the burrata to pieces.
Salad leaves, prosciutto & burrata: It’s up to you how much salad leaves, prosciutto & burrata you’ll like to use. I started w/ 125 g salad leaves for 2 plates & had 40 g prosciutto & 1/2 burrata for each plate.
