A simple Watermelon Burrata Salad with mixed greens, fresh mint, extra virgin olive oil, and balsamic.
Summer salads are the absolute best!
With so many fresh fruits available, there is an endless array of tasty, colorful, and creative salads you can create.
A couple of years ago I shared a Strawberry Burrata Salad, and this year I wanted to put a fresh spin on it by creating a Watermelon Burrata Salad.
We had some fun cutting the watermelon into different shapes for this salad, but you can cut your watermelon however you want!
Ours started with a base of 3 long rectangular slices of watermelon, topped with mixed greens, burrata, and small cubes of watermelon.
Then to add even more flavor, I sprinkled it with freshly cracked black pepper, extra virgin olive oil, reduced balsamic, and some fresh mint.
Super simple, super fresh, and super delicious!
Some people love lime on watermelon, so you could totally swap the balsamic for freshly squeezed lime.
Or you could skip the olive oil and balsamic and trade it out for your favorite summer salad dressing.
Honestly, this recipe is so simple I felt funny adding a recipe card, but since it technically is a recipe, I went ahead and added one below.
I’ve stared at these photos long enough I’m now craving watermelon.
And since I can feel the baby kicking in agreement, I think it’s time to pull out these fresh ingredients again and indulge in this simply gorgeous summer salad!
Watermelon Burrata Salad
A simple Watermelon Burrata Salad with mixed greens, fresh mint, extra virgin olive oil, and balsamic.
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 10 minutes
- Yield: Serves 2
Ingredients
- Watermelon
- Mixed Green Lettuce
- Burrata
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Balsamic *(1)
- Black Pepper, freshly ground
- Fresh Mint
Instructions
- First, slice the watermelon to your desired shape. For this salad, we cut it into 3 rectangles about 1/2 inch thick along with small cubes of watermelon.
- Next, top the rectangular watermelon with mixed green lettuce, the burrata, and the cubes of watermelon.
- Top with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, balsamic, a sprinkle of black pepper, and fresh mint.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- If you prefer thick balsamic, simply pour the balsamic into a small pan, and bring it to a simmer at medium heat. Then reduce the heat to low, once it begins to bubble, and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes until thickened. I reduce between 1/4 and 1/3 cup, but it depends on how much balsamic reduction you desire.
I hope you enjoy your Watermelon Burrata Salad!
