Bursty Tomato Burrata Salad
Recipe video above. My favourite burrata recipe - Bursty Tomato Burrata Salad. Juicy roasted cherry tomatoes, creamy burrata cheese, dollops of pesto, swish of olive oil and crusty bread. Simple, luscious, rustic perfection. Gorgeous appetiser or light meal that's not too expensive to make.Finishing with pesto takes this over the top but it's still worth making even without. But whatever you do, don't forget bread for mopping!

Nominate a person to do the cutting honours. Break into the burrata with a serving spoon. Let the centre ooze out. Make sure you scoop up a bit of everything, pile onto bread and eat! Don't forget to mop the plate clean. The juices are the best part.
