Italy: Burrata & Honey Figs salad
Although Burrata dates back to 1900s, originally believed to have come from the Apulian region in Southern Italy. Despite the early start, this cheese only became widely popularized in 1950’s largely as a way to use up the “scraps” of mozzarella production.
Burrata is one of my favorite things in food. While I do love a savory dish with burrata, one of my favorite things to do in the hot seasons is combine this lovely creamy pouch of deliciousness with sweet fruits. This is a simple salad dish that brings in the sweet and tart flavors together and everything is nicely smoothed over with the creamy cheese.
