Ingredients- 1 Burrata cheese

- Bacon (to taste)
- Lettuce (to taste)
- Garlic chives (to taste)
- 3 Baby bok choy leaves
- 2 Tbsp Olive oil
- 2 Tbsp Balsamic vinegar
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare your fresh salad greens. You can use vegetables from your own garden or store-bought varieties like lettuce, garlic chives, and baby bok choy. Using freshly picked greens will add an extra layer of vibrancy.
Step 2
Wash the greens thoroughly under cold running water and then drain them well. Ensuring the greens are dry is crucial for the dressing to adhere properly. Tear the lettuce, garlic chives, and baby bok choy into bite-sized pieces and arrange them attractively on a plate. Halve the cherry tomatoes and scatter them around the edges of the salad.
Step 3
Cook the bacon in a skillet until it’s nicely browned and crispy. Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess grease, making it less oily.
Step 4
Arrange the crispy bacon pieces over the salad. Feel free to add other ingredients you enjoy to make the salad even more abundant and appealing.
Step 5
Prepare a simple dressing to enhance the salad’s flavors. While various dressings can be used, a quick and delicious option is to whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar.
Step 6
There are countless ways to enjoy salad, but for this recipe, we’re elevating it by placing a beautiful burrata cheese on top of the fresh ingredients. Simply adding burrata cheese to a salad made with readily available ingredients creates a surprisingly delicious dish.
Step 7
Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad to complete your easy and flavorful creation. The crispness of the vegetables, the tanginess of the dressing, and the rich, creamy texture of the burrata cheese combine for a light yet satisfying meal.
Step 8
For an extra delightful experience, try serving the salad on top of lightly toasted slices of bread. The combination of fresh vegetables, savory bacon, and creamy cheese makes for a wonderfully flavorful bite with the bread.
