Salad Ingredients

Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Compressed Watermelon

    Slice the watermelon into cubes and place them in a vacuum-seal bag. Seal the bag and compress in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Make the Basil Vinaigrette

    In a blender, combine fresh basil leaves, extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and adjust seasoning to taste.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, tear the baby gem lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Add the heirloom tomatoes (cut into wedges), compressed watermelon cubes, and burrata cheese (torn into pieces).

  4. 4

    Serve

    Drizzle the basil vinaigrette over the salad and sprinkle with Napa olive salt. Serve immediately.
