Burrata Heirloom Tomato and Arugula Salad


Toss in white truffle oil, aged balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Voila!

Restaurant secret: The creamy, dreamy burrata cheese served at all trendy California restaurants such as Mozza comes from Gioia, cheese makery located right outside of Los Angeles. You can also get it from the Farmer's Market at Fairfax and 3rd.

Burrata cheese is the Rolls Royce of Mozzarella. It has a thin skin and delightful, creamy center that melts in your mouth. Perfect with farm tomatoes or simply sprikled with corse sea salt. To me, it is the next best thing after chocolate:)
