Salad Components

Oxymel Dressing

Method

Preparation of Salad Components

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cherry Tomatoes

    Rinse the cherry tomatoes under cold water. Cut them in half and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Burrata

    Remove the burrata cheese from its packaging. Let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving to enhance its creaminess.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Semi-Dried Tomatoes

    If the semi-dried tomatoes are in oil, drain them and chop them into smaller pieces if desired.

  4. 4

    Prepare Carob Crackers

    Break the carob crackers into bite-sized pieces. Set aside for topping the salad.

Preparation of Oxymel Dressing

  1. 5

    Mix Oxymel Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, honey, and water until well combined. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking to emulsify the dressing. Add salt and black pepper to taste.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large serving bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, semi-dried tomatoes, and pieces of carob crackers.

  2. 7

    Add Burrata

    Gently place the room-temperature burrata on top of the salad mixture.

  3. 8

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the oxymel dressing over the salad, ensuring all ingredients are lightly coated.

  4. 9

    Serve

    Serve immediately, allowing guests to break the burrata and mix it into the salad.
