Quinoa and Burrata Caprese Salad
PrintIngredients
- 2 medium tomatoes , sliced (I like Campari tomatoes unless I have fresh from my garden)
- 1 packaged ball of Burrata cheese
- ยฝ cup quinoa , cooked
- 5-6 basil leaves , thinly sliced
- 1 ยฝ tablespoons good and fruity extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Layer tomato slices in a salad bowl or plate. Remove the Burrata cheese from it's package and drain the water. Gently tear the cheese ball in half, reserving one half for another salad or other use (you should use the drained cheese within a day after draining.) Add the quinoa and basil leaves and drizzle with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with the kosher salt and freshly ground pepper and serve.

I know this is not timely or anything, as this post is from nearly 2 years ago, but the link for the favorite whole food blogs now goes to a website selling e-cigarettes. Which is essentially the exact opposite. Don’t know how that happened but just wanted to give you a heads up! :)

Here you go with that burrata again! This looks fantastic. I fell in love with quinoa a few years ago and have actually replaced it for rice in my house. We now eat it a few times a week. I love the nuttiness it adds to any meal.
