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

  1. Cube bread and toast until golden brown. Adjust toasting time based on serving temperature (longer for later serving, shorter for immediate serving).
  2. While the bread is toasting, heat olive oil and garlic over medium heat on the stove until the garlic is lightly browned and softened.
  3. Set the garlic-infused olive oil aside to cool.
  4. Cut blood oranges into rings.
  5. In a large bowl or platter, arrange a mix of blood orange rings and toasted bread.
  6. Place the burrata in the center of the arrangement.
  7. Drizzle with the cooled olive oil and garlic mixture, then drizzle with honey.
  8. Sprinkle with cardamom and sea salt.
  9. 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.
