This quantity is enough for 1 person as a main meal or for 2 if served as a side dish. I recommend a piece of toasted sourdough baguette with it.
Tips
Burrata – it’s very soft and creamy inside, so it’s best to just pluck it into small pieces.
Pine Nuts – when roasting these super delicious pine nuts develop their full flavor. Simply heat a pan without oil and roast the pine nuts in it. Attention, they can burn quickly!
Olive Oil – use extra virgin olive oil for this salad. In combination with arugula, tomatoes and burrata a dream combination.
Tomatoes – With any salad you should make sure to use really only super tasty and ripe tomatoes, otherwise the salad becomes rather inedible. The tasty tomatoes are usually the ones that are a bit more expensive 🙁 , but in my opinion it’s worth it!
