In this salad, we’ve teamed up arugula, creamy burrata, and a variety of citrus fruits, including grapefruit, orange, blood orange, and clementines. Topped with pomegranate arils and pistachios for a satisfying crunch, and drizzled with balsamic glaze for extra flavor.
Here’s what you’ll need:
Citrus Burrata Salad
Ingredients
- 5 oz 1 small box arugula, baby kale, or spinach
- 1 grapefruit
- 2 cara cara or navel oranges
- 3 small or 2 large blood oranges
- 3-4 clementines or tangerines
- 8 oz burrata torn into smaller pieces
- ⅓ cup pomegranate arils
- ¼ cup finely chopped pistachios
- 2 tbsp finely chopped mint
- Olive oil
- Balsamic glaze
- Salt & pepper
Instructions
- **Step 1:** Prepare the citrus by slicing off both ends. Lay it flat on a cutting board, and use a knife to remove the peel and pith. Once done, slice the citrus into thin rounds.
- **Step 2:** Arrange the salad on a large platter with arugula, citrus slices, burrata, pomegranate arils, pistachios, and mint. Make sure to spread out the burrata evenly.
- **Step 3:** Drizzle generously with olive oil and balsamic glaze, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
**Notes:** Don’t forget to remove the pith from all your fruits. Leaving the white fuzz on the clementines is fine.
The salt in this recipe is crucial, as it helps draw out the citrus juices, creating a flavorful dressing. For the best results, if you can wait, let it sit for 15 minutes before indulging in this delicious salad! And let’s be honest, who can resist the creamy goodness of burrata? Enjoy!
