Melon & Heirloom Tomato Burrata Salad
gluten free / vegetarian
The perfect appetizer does not exi… Oh wait, I forgot burrata was a thing.
Getting on the burrata train is the easiest thing to do because of how versatile it really is! This is a super simple appetizer/ salad that is so fresh, sweet and tangy. If you can eat meat, I would recommend frying up some prosciutto and tossing that in with it. You can also add in some toasted croutons that would be heavenly in this dish. I used tuscan melon in this recipe, but honeydew or cantaloupe also work great.
