Strawberry Salad Ingredients:

To make this Strawberry Burrata Salad, we will need:

Fresh Strawberries: sliced or quartered
Burrata Cheese: the most heavenly soft buffalo milk cheese, made with mozzarella and cream
- if you can’t find burrata at your store, feel free to sub in a ball of fresh traditional mozzarella or feta cheese
Red Onion: thinly sliced (or you could sub in shallots)
Nuts: I used toasted sliced almonds, but any of your favorite kinds of chopped nuts will do
Greens: I used a spring greens mix here, but any of your favorite greens will do
Basil Vinaigrette: see below!

How To Make Strawberry Burrata Salad:

To make this Strawberry Burrata Salad, simply combine all of your ingredients in a large salad bowl, toss, and serve! You’re welcome to toss the salad ahead of time with the vinaigrette, or drizzle it on top of each serving once the salads have been plated. I also like to sprinkle on an extra few cracks of black pepper, for good measure. :)

If you happen to be grilling out, I would vote that any grilled meats and veggies would be delicious with this salad. Also just about any kind of Italian main dishes. But some other great options could include:
