SIMPLY DELICIOUS BURATA SALAD

This delicious salad, envisioned by chef David Burke, has become my favorite go-to dish this summer. With only five essential ingredients it's a cinch to make but looks like you've slaved all afternoon. Use the freshest local ingredients: asparagus, tomatoes, basil and add delicious proscuitto and creamy buratta cheese (mozzarella's hip little sister). Dress with a vinegrette and you have a stunning lunch or elegant starter for dinner-it's simple and so delicious!
