Burrata Fig Salad With Balsamic Glaze Dressing

This isn't just any ordinary salad. It marries the creamiest, dreamiest burrata cheese with the lusciously sweet embrace of figs, all drizzled in a sultry, tangy balsamic glaze. Every mouthful is a symphony of perfectly balanced flavours and luxurious textures you wouldn't be-'leaf''! 

Ingredients:

For the salad:

• 1 burrata cheese ball (about 8 ounces)
• 6-8 ripe fresh figs, quartered
• 4 cups mixed greens (e.g., arugula, baby spinach, or spring mix)
• 1/4 cup toasted walnuts or pecans, roughly chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn into small pieces
• 2-3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

For the MadeWith Balsamic Glaze:

• 1/2 cup MadeWith Balsamic Glaze
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the MadeWith Balsamic Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the MadeWith Balsamic Glaze, honey, and Dijon mustard. Place it over low heat and stir until well combined. Simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until the glaze thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

2. Prepare the salad:

   • Wash and dry the mixed greens thoroughly and place them in a large salad bowl.
   • Cut the burrata cheese ball into halves or quarters, depending on your preference.

3. Assemble the salad:

   • Arrange the burrata cheese pieces on top of the mixed greens.
   • Add the quartered figs around the burrata.
   • Scatter the toasted walnuts or pecans and torn basil leaves over the salad.

4. Drizzle the olive oil over the salad and season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.

5. Drizzle the prepared MadeWith Balsamic Glaze over the salad as a finishing touch. Start with a few tablespoons and adjust according to your taste. You can always serve extra glaze on the side for those who want more.

6. Serve the Burrata Fig Salad as a delightful appetizer or a light and elegant starter for your meal.
