Fresh, colourful and elegant, this salad highlights the sweetness of ripe tomatoes and the creaminess of burrata. Our dietitians like to suggest it as a summer appetizer, as a snack or as a light meal, served with a good crusty bread. It also pairs wonderfully with one of our Essential BBQ recipes.
