Made from cheese, cream, and more cheese, burrata is about as decadent as it gets. That’s why it makes a great accompaniment to fresh fruit or vegetables in a salad—think tomatoes, peaches or plums. We’ll also use any crostini or light pasta as an excuse to break out the burrata. Whether you make it at home (newsflash: it’s actually quite easy to do) or buy it from the store, join the crowd and let yourself fall head over heels for this creamy creation.

Go to Recipe

Torn pieces of burrata are tossed into the orecchiette just after it's cooked so the cheese melts ever so slightly into the pasta, which is laced with chunks of tender, smoky eggplant.

Beet-and-Burrata Crostini

Go to Recipe

Beets are often thought of as a cold-weather vegetable, but Paul Virant loves the sweet varieties, such as Chioggia, available from the late spring through the fall. For this crostini, he stacks roasted beets on top of buttery burrata (cream-filled mozzarella) that he buys from California's Caseificio Gioia, which makes a variety of traditional fresh Italian cheeses.

Persimmon-and-Burrata Salad with Sesame Candy

Go to Recipe

The Fuyu persimmon that chef Helene Henderson uses in this beautiful salad is light orange and shaped like a tomato; don't confuse it with the Hachiya variety, which is a deeper orange, heart-shaped and only edible when very soft to the touch. When she can't find good persimmons, Henderson makes the salad with other seasonal fruit, like nectarines.

Beefsteak Tomato and Burrata Salad with Olive Streusel

Credit: ABBY HOCKING
Go to Recipe

The crunchy, savory kalamata olive streusel that tops this salad from Bryan and Michael Voltaggio is our new condiment obsession. Toss it in your next kale salad, sprinkle over roasted root vegetables or use it to garnish steamed grains. If you can’t find good beefsteak tomatoes for this dish, use the best greenhouse tomatoes you can get your hands on.
