Equipment
- 1 salad spinner
- 1 Whisk
- 1 Mixing Bowl medium size
Ingredients
Salad
- 4 cups fresh arugula
- 1 ball burrata cheese
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
Lemon Dressing
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- Rinse the arugula under cold water to remove any dirt. Use a salad spinner to dry the leaves thoroughly.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine olive oil, fresh lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
- Place the arugula in a large serving bowl. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and tear the burrata into pieces over the salad.
- Drizzle the prepared lemon dressing over the salad. Gently toss to coat all ingredients evenly.
- Serve the salad immediately while the arugula is crisp and the burrata is creamy.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Note that the arugula may wilt and the burrata may lose its texture.
Notes

How to Serve: Best served immediately after preparation. Storage & Freshness: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 day. Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare dressing in advance and assemble salad just before serving.
