Description
Sweet blood oranges, creamy burrata, and crunchy toasted bread make this salad a winter winner. Perfect for a party or a light supper.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tbsp (45 ml) olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 ball burrata
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) honey
- 1/2 tsp coriander
- 1-2 blood oranges
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) basil
- 2 Kalamata Olive Rolls
Instructions
- Cube bread and toast until golden brown. Adjust toasting time based on serving temperature (longer for later serving, shorter for immediate serving).
- While the bread is toasting, heat olive oil and garlic over medium heat on the stove until the garlic is lightly browned and softened.
- Set the garlic-infused olive oil aside to cool.
- Cut blood oranges into rings.
- In a large bowl or platter, arrange a mix of blood orange rings and toasted bread.
- Place the burrata in the center of the arrangement.
- Drizzle with the cooled olive oil and garlic mixture, then drizzle with honey.
- Sprinkle with cardamom and sea salt.
- Top with fresh basil.
Notes
- For best flavor, use fresh, ripe blood oranges. If using less-than-perfect oranges, increase honey to taste.
- To prevent the burrata from becoming overly soft, add it to the salad just before serving.
- Substitute other soft cheeses like fresh mozzarella or ricotta if burrata is unavailable. Consider adjusting honey based on the cheese’s saltiness.
