Servings 1 serving
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- ½ cup fresh strawberries hulled and thinly sliced
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil chopped into ribbons
- 1 tablespoon pine nuts
- 2 ounce ball burrata (room temperature)
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and honey until emulsified into a dark glossy dressing.
- Add the strawberries to the bowl, toss to coat with the dressing, and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Strew the spinach across a shallow bowl or plate. Place the burrata in the center and then gently cut it in half, letting each side fall open to expose the creamy interior.
- Spoon the strawberries and dressing over the spinach and burrata. Then scatter the basil and pine nuts over the top. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve with a bit of crostini or fresh bread to soak up any remaining dressing and burrata.
