Caprese Salad is one of my favorite Italian starters. In this recipe I replaced the mozzarella cheese with burrata and instead of olive oil I created an herbed oil dressing. Burrata is made from mozzarella and cream, the outer shell is made from mozzarella and the inside contains both mozzarella and cream. The cheese has a rich, buttery flavor and retains its fresh milkiness. Overall, this is a nice combination of the creamy burrata, the strong flavor of the herbs, and the fresh, firm flesh of the tomato. This dish is especially nice during warm summer days, but in my opinion, you can enjoy it all year around.
