Grilled Vegetables and Burrata Salad

Filed under Salads,Vegetarian by Anna at 1:18 PM on May 19 2009

My husband sometimes test my patience I spent hours trying to bake a new recipe of cookies and in the end they came out as flat as paper. I was extremely upset I hate when things don’t work as planed. Then I was complaining and the whole time he was singing the theme song; “Where do I begin…” and playing an imaginary violin. Yep that’s what he does all the time I complain about something. In the end I have to laugh but I’m telling you one of those day I’ll lose it and break his imaginary violin. But at least it wasn’t a totally day gone wasted. My dinner didn’t suck; I grilled some veggies and made a salad with “Burrata”. Burrata is a fresh Italian cheese, made from mozzarella and cream. The outer shell is solid mozzarella while the inside contains both mozzarella and cream, giving it this amazing (milky ricotta like) soft texture. The name “Burrata” means buttered in Italian. I grilled the veggies only with salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. And to finish up I made dill vinaigrette.

For the Dill vinaigrette:

½ cup olive oil
¼ cup lemon juice
2 garlic cloves minced
Salt and pepper
½ cup of chopped dill

I’d never heard of Burrata, so thanks for enlightening me! It sounds wonderful.

I’m very fond of grilled vegetables and yours looks fantastic. Nice idea for the dill vinaigrette. I will have to give this a try if I can track don some burrata.

Thanks!

Thank you Rachel, If you don’t find Burrata you could use fresh mozzarella or Bufala mozzarella. Loved your site.

Anna,
I enjoyed reading your post! Those vegetables look amazing.
Burrata cheese sounds delicious and similar to farmer’s cheese.

Thanks Erica, I need to check the farmer’s cheese will look for it.

Your grilled veggies and burrata salad look and sound great – I’m sure one bite silenced your husband’s singing and imaginary violin playing. Maybe when you next get the urge to break his imaginary violin, you can just hide it. And sorry to hear about the paper-flat cookies. The real test, anyway, is their taste!

Hi Sapuche, My cookies not only looked flat they also tasted flat I’m still trying to get over it. And trying to bake again and again until I get it.
