Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 large balls of burrata cheese
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
- 3 cups arugula
- 6 slices prosciutto torn into pieces
- 1 cup mixed olives

Instructions
Preparation
- Wash and dry the arugula and cherry tomatoes. Halve the tomatoes and tear the prosciutto into smaller pieces. Set aside.
- Spread the arugula evenly on a large serving platter to create a bed for the salad.
- Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes and pieces of prosciutto over the arugula base in a visually appealing manner.
- Evenly distribute the mixed olives around the platter, adding both color and flavor.
- Gently place the burrata balls on top of the salad. Be careful not to break them open at this stage.
- Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil over the entire platter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
- Encourage guests to break the burrata themselves to enjoy the creamy filling mixed with the other ingredients.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days, though the salad is best enjoyed fresh.
