Lettuce, Tomato, and Onion Salad with Burrata Cheese and Fresh Herbs
Burrata is a soft cheese made from Italian cow’s milk (or sometimes Buffalo milk), where the inside of the cheese balls has a runny and creamy consistency. I made this salad last night, and went back to the supermarket today to buy some more burrata—it’s just a treat to serve this to yourself and your family at home.
Ingredients
- 4 cups romaine lettuce (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 4 Roma tomatoes (large dice)
- ¼ red onion (sliced finely)
- 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar

- A small pinch of Kosher salt
- A few grinds of fresh black pepper
- 4 balls of burrata cheese
- 10 mint leaves (finely sliced)
- 6 basil leaves (finely sliced)
- 12 chives (finely sliced)
Instructions
- Cut the romaine lettuce, and wash and dry the leaves.
- In a large salad mixing bowl, combine the lettuce leaves, diced tomatoes, sliced red onion, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil.
