Tomato Basil & Burrata Salad with Lemon Oregano Drizzle at The Little Shop of Olive Oils

Tomato Basil & Burrata Salad with Lemon Oregano Drizzle

This is one of those salads that feels simple, but tastes like something you’d order at a beautiful little café.

This Tomato Basil & Burrata Salad is all about fresh ingredients coming together in the best way. Sweet cherry tomatoes, peppery greens, and creamy burrata are layered and finished with a bright, herby drizzle made from Lemon Olive Oil and Oregano Balsamic Vinegar.

The burrata is really the star here. When you tear it open, that soft, creamy center blends into the salad and coats everything just a little. It turns a simple plate of greens into something rich and satisfying without feeling heavy.

The dressing is light but full of flavor. The Lemon Olive Oil brings a fresh citrus note, while the Oregano Balsamic adds just a hint of tang and herbiness. A touch of Dijon and honey helps round everything out, but you can keep it simple if you prefer.

I love serving this salad when tomatoes are at their best, but honestly, it’s a beautiful dish any time you want something fresh, colorful, and easy to put together.

It works as a starter, a side dish, or even a light meal with a piece of warm bread on the side.

Simple, fresh, and just the kind of salad that makes you slow down and enjoy every bite.
