Italian Burrata Salad with Grilled Olives & Roasted Tomatoes

Inspiration: Italian antipasti often pair creamy cheeses with salty elements. Here, CEREN Grilled Olives add a smoky punch to balance rich burrata and sweet roasted tomatoes.

Ingredients

• 1 ball burrata (or fresh mozzarella)
• ½ cup CEREN Grilled Olives
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, roasted until caramelized
• 2 tablespoons CEREN Sun-Dried Tomatoes in Oil, sliced
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon balsamic glaze
• Fresh basil leaves
• Crusty bread for serving

Instructions

Roast tomatoes: Drizzle cherry tomatoes with olive oil, roast at 200°C (400°F) for 20 minutes until blistered.

Assemble salad: Place burrata in the center of a plate. Arrange roasted tomatoes, CEREN Grilled Olives, and sun-dried tomatoes around it.

Drizzle & garnish: Finish with olive oil, balsamic glaze, and fresh basil.

Serve: With warm bread to scoop up creamy cheese and smoky olives.
