Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 8 oz Burrata Fresh mozzarella or ricotta can be used as alternatives.
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes Use a mix of colors for visual appeal.
  • 6 oz Asparagus Use thick spears for easier shaving; cucumber can be a substitute.
  • 3 oz Arugula Baby spinach or mixed greens work well too.
  • 4 oz Prosciutto Select prosciutto that can be rolled into roses.
  • 1 cup Blackberries Blueberries or raspberries can also be used.
  • 1/4 cup Pepitas Substitutes include shaved almonds, pine nuts, or chopped pistachios.
For the Glaze
  • 1/2 cup White Balsamic Vinegar Dark balsamic can be used but will create a stronger taste.
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil Drizzle over the salad for added flavor.

Equipment

  • small saucepan
  • Mixing bowl
  • vegetable peeler

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by pouring ½ cup of white balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan. Place it over medium-low heat and allow it to simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reduces and thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool.
  2. Slice ½ cup of cherry tomatoes in half and set them aside. Use an apple peeler to shave 4-6 asparagus spears into thin ribbons.
  3. Combine 3 oz. of fresh arugula with a drizzle of olive oil and about 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar in a mixing bowl. Toss gently and transfer to a serving dish.
  4. Place the burrata at the center of the arugula. Arrange the shaved asparagus around the burrata.
  5. Take slices of prosciutto, cut into strips, fold and roll them to form roses, and position them atop the salad alongside halved cherry tomatoes and blackberries.
  6. Drizzle the cooled balsamic glaze over the salad and sprinkle with pepitas.
