1ball Burrata Cheese250 grams = one regular size ball of cheese or 1 cup
8slicesProsciuttoapproximately 120 grams
20Fresh Basil Leavesor a small handful
2tablespoonBalsamic Vinegar
5tablespoonExtra Virgin Olive Oildivided
½teaspoonSalt
¼teaspoonGround Black Pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350'F. Place grapes in a small roasting pan or on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, place in oven and roast for 20-25 minutes until juices starting to burst out and grapes are softer. Remove from oven and set aside.
To make the balsamic olive oil dressing, whisk vinegar, 6 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl or add to a jar with a lid and shake well.
To assemble the salad, arrange arugula on a large platter. Slice burrata carefully in half and place it so the soft curds are up, with the outer mozzarella shell holding them in. Slice each half again to make quarters and gently arrange them in the salad greens with the curds up so they don't spill out before serving.
Cut each slice of prosciutto in half and tuck the pieces equally around the salad. Pull the grapes off the stems and scatter over the salad, leaving some in small bunches of 3 for a pretty garnish.
Drizzle with the balsamic vinaigrette, sprinkle a little extra sea salt, pepper and olive oil over the burrata if you wish, then scatter basil leaves over top.
Serve with spoons to easily lift the burrata into each bowl.
Notes
Note: Alternatively, you can toss arugula, grapes and balsamic dressing in a large bowl before serving it into individual bowls. Add ¼ each of the prosciutto and burrata cheese on top of the arugula in each bowl.This salad is best enjoyed the day it is made. You can make the roasted grapes up to 3 days ahead and store in the fridge in airtight containers. Bring them back to room temperature before using.
