Summer Salad with Burrata & Honey
This summer salad with burrata and honey recipe is part of a collection of recipes published by the European Commission under the name of Great Food from Green European Cities.
The cookbook promotes healthy food choices with an emphasis on dishes made with organic, seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. The recipes were submitted by 21 European cities, each of them having successfully implemented food sustainability initiatives.
This recipe was submitted by the city of Essen, Germany, which has developed 18 urban gardens and is looking to open another 18. It may seem a bit odd at a first to see a recipe submitted by a German city being based on an Italian cheese, but Germans are huge fans of Italian food.
Burrata is a fresh Italian cheese that’s basically mozzarella with cream filling. It can be made of cow or buffalo milk.
It is usually served at room temperature. Enjoy!
