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.

I am a cheese lover and prefer certain cheeses for certain recipes. For French onion soup it would only be Gruyere, for Mac and cheese, I would mix extra sharp cheddar with a pepper jack. fresh made Mozzarella is a natural with tomatoes and Basil. But recently, I found a cheese that I feel has overtaken my previous favorite of Parmigiano Regiano and that is Sartori’s BellaVitano. It comes in a few flavors, so start with the Gold and look forward to finding Salsa, Espresso, Chai, Raspberry and others. Pour a glass of wine and enjoy this cheese with fruit and a crusty bread and of course “Friends”.
I like provolone

My favorite cheese ever was a years-aged sharp white cheddar that my dad would gift me with after he had taken a business trip to England. It was pungent, tangy and crumbly…divine!
