Charred Citrus Caprese
There's nothing too dramatic or too intense about a caprese salad, but it just hits the spot every time. This winter version uses charred citrus, burrata and the classic balsamic glaze to make an easy, delicious salad.
Ingredients
- 4 ounces fresh burrata
- 1 large grapefruit
- 1 large orange
- 1/3 cup basil leaves
- 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Drain the burrata and tear it into pieces. Arrange them on a plate.
- Slice of the skin from the citrus and slice length-wise, reveling the full circle of the fruit.
- Place the citrus slices on a baking sheet and either put under a hot broiler for 5 minutes or use a propane torch to torch each slice until charred. Let cool on the baking sheet.
- Rub the basil together with your hands to activate the aromas in the herbs. Keep the leaves in their full shape.
- Arrange the basil and citrus on top of the burrata on the plate. Feel free to also do this on toast or a bread of your choice!
- Top with a drizzle of olive oil, a drizzle of balsamic and salt and pepper to taste.
