Burrata Roasted Tomato Salad Recipe
This post may contain affiliate links. Read our disclosure policy.
I’ve made so many roasted tomato salads in my life, but this one served over pouches of fresh burrata cheese and drizzled with a zesty scallion dressing takes the cake.
Make sure to use the very thin and mild scallions, or substitute with a large bunch of onion chives. I used a mix of heirloom cherry tomatoes but it can be done with the larger variety, sliced or cut into wedges. They will take longer to roast and collapse, but equally delicious.
Mandatory to wipe our plates clean with pieces of rustic bruschetta, but this would be just as lovely over a bed of this quinoa salad or couscous.
P.S. I bet you’ll also love this variation with strawberries and balsamic glaze.
