A non-recipe but a quintessential summer idea, the melon, prosciutto, and burrata salad, a very satisfying cold dish but in essence… I just arranged ready-made foods on a plate, let’s be honest, right?
During the summer season, I think almost all of us have little desire for complicated recipes and long cooking processes, so fresh salads are popular because they are nutritious, easy, and can be prepared with whatever we have at home, from fresh foods to legumes and more!
Today, I added burrata, which I think is fantastic in salad but also in a dressing or on pizza!
It’s a fresh and super-speedy summer dish, perfect when it’s hot!
It’s a colorful and flavorful mix of ingredients that pair wonderfully: the sweetness of the melon, the savory taste of prosciutto, and the irresistible creaminess of the burrata.
An ideal idea for a light dinner or a quick lunch without turning on the stove!

Annalisa says …
1) If you want to add a crunchy note to the arugula, cherry tomato, prosciutto, and burrata salad, add some almond flakes, perhaps previously toasted with care in a pan so that it releases all its aromas!
2) Don’t like burrata? Well, you can add some fresh mozzarella, some crescenza, or robiola pieces.
3) Clearly, dress the salad ONLY at the moment of eating it at the table, otherwise…
