Sure! Here’s a simple recipe for a Beet & Burrata Salad with Pine Nuts:
Ingredients:
- 3 medium-sized beets (roasted and peeled)
- 8 oz burrata cheese
- 1/4 cup pine nuts (toasted)
- 2 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach, or your choice)
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Roast the Beets: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap each beet in foil and roast for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Let them cool, then peel and slice them into rounds or wedges.
- Toast the Pine Nuts: In a small pan, toast the pine nuts over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until golden brown. Be careful not to burn them.
- Assemble the Salad: Arrange the mixed greens on a large plate. Layer the sliced beets on top of the greens, then tear the burrata into pieces and place it over the beets.
- Dress the Salad: Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the salad. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Finish and Serve: Sprinkle the toasted pine nuts over the salad and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
