This is a recent addition to the menu at Ree’s Mercantile restaurant and uses extra creamy burrata. The salad works well as a starter or as a main course, when accompanied with cheese or garlic bread.

Ingredients

Cucumber Herb Dressing:

Directions

  1. Shingle the sliced tomatoes on one side of a round platter.
  2. Toss the cherry tomatoes with the parsley, 1 tablespoon olive oil, a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper. Pile them next to the shingled tomatoes. Toss the arugula in 1 tablespoon Cucumber Herb Dressing and place on the center of the platter.
  3. Add some of the dressing to the blank space of the platter and top with the burrata. Sprinkle the burrata with a pinch of salt and pepper, then drizzle with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Garnish with the shallots, chives and microgreens, then serve.

Cucumber Herb Dressing:

  1. Grate the cucumbers into a fine sieve over a bowl, allowing the cucumber juice to collect in the bowl. (You should have about 2/3 cup juice.) Add the juice to a blender, discarding the cucumber pulp.
  2. Add the cilantro, parsley, chives, mustard, salt and lime juice to the blender. Blend and slowly stream the oil in, allowing the dressing to emulsify.
  3. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
