Scale

Salad Ingredients

  • 3 medium-sized fresh beets
  • 8 oz burrata cheese
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil or thyme, a handful
  • 1/4 cup toasted walnuts or pine nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Roast the Beets: Wash and trim the beets, then wrap each beet individually in foil. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 45-60 minutes until tender. Allow the beets to cool, then peel off the skin and slice into wedges or rounds according to preference.
  2. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, salt, and cracked black pepper to create a balanced dressing that complements the sweetness of the beets.
  3. Assemble the Salad: Arrange the roasted beet slices on a serving platter or individual plates. Tear or slice the burrata cheese generously over the beets. Drizzle the prepared dressing evenly on top, then sprinkle with fresh herbs like basil or thyme and add toasted nuts if using.
  4. Final Touches: Finish the dish with a pinch of flaky sea salt and an additional drizzle of olive oil for gloss and enhanced flavor. Serve immediately to enjoy the burrata’s creamy texture at its best.

Notes

  • Roast beets with skin on to lock in moisture and enhance sweetness.
  • Use fresh burrata from a trusted source for best flavor and texture.
  • Allow the salad to rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving to enhance aroma and flavors.
  • Slice beets evenly to achieve the perfect balance between beet and cheese in each bite.
  • Toast nuts lightly to unlock their oils and deepen their flavor.
