Why You’ll Love This Strawberry Burrata Dish
This strawberry burrata is simple enough for a casual summer lunch but impressive enough to serve at your next dinner party. Itโs a no-cook dish that comes together in minutes and looks like something straight off a restaurant menu. The chipotle honey dressing brings a touch of heat that balances the richness of the burrata and the sweetness of the strawberries beautifully.
Seasonal eating is my jam and, like changing out my closet from winter to spring, I get excited to swap salads for risottos from summer to fall or stews for smoothies from winter to spring.ย
I don’t like to play favorites but this Burrata with Chipotle Strawberries and Arugula just might be my spring appetizer best yet. It’s simply burrata paired with strawberries and arugula but the kicker is the sweet-smoky chipotle dressing.
I like to dip the berries in vinegar before plating them for an extra zing — but I really like vinegar so that may not be your jam. This strawberry burrata is one of those dishes where every element is awesome on its own, but they’re all even more fabulous together. So, channel your inner culinary architect and top a bit of toast with a few arugula leaves, a smear of burrata, and a few berries. And, if you like spice as much as me, serve the dressing on the side so you can dunk and eat as you please.
