Herby Salad With Burrata Recipes

Steps:

• For the crostini: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the bread on a baking sheet in a single layer evenly spaced out. Drizzle the sliced bread with olive oil. Bake until the bread is crisp, about 10 minutes. Halfway through baking, flip the crostini and toast the other side. Remove from the oven.
• While the crostini is still warm, rub each slice of bread with the garlic and season with salt and pepper.
• For the herb salad: Make sure all of the herbs are washed and dried and place into a bowl. Sprinkle with the lemon juice and drizzle with the olive oil to lightly dress the greens. Season with salt and pepper.
• Hand tear the burrata over each crostini. Top the cheese with the fresh herb salad, taste and enjoy!

Steps:

• Up to a day before serving, wash the herbs and greens: Fill a large bowl or clean sink with plenty of cold water. Immerse the leaves, swish around to loosen any dirt, then gently lift out. Dry in a salad spinner or by spreading them on clean kitchen towels. (If working ahead, refrigerate the dry leaves in sealed plastic bags or containers. Add a paper towel to each bag to absorb excess water.)
• Melt butter in a frying pan until it sizzles. Add almonds. Sauté over low heat, until the almonds are golden and the butter is browned. Lift out almonds and drain on paper towels, reserving butter. (Butter can be kept for 1 day. Melt and cool again before assembling salad.)
• When ready to serve, place greens in a large bowl. Add salt, pepper, chile flakes, almonds, cooking butter, lemon juice and olive oil. Toss gently and season to taste, then serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook barley in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender, 15-20 minutes for pearl, 35-40 for hulled or hull-less. Drain and spread out on a rimmed baking sheet; let cool.
• Meanwhile, toss breadcrumbs with 1 tablespoon oil on another rimmed baking sheet; season with salt. Bake, tossing once, until golden brown, 10-12 minutes; let cool.
• Bring milk to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; season with salt. Add cauliflower and cook until just softened, about 3 minutes; drain well. Discard milk.
• Toss cauliflower, barley, breadcrumbs, shallot, celery hearts, celery leaves, parsley, parsley stems, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vinegar in a bowl; season salad with salt.
• Mix burrata and crème fraîche in a medium bowl; season with salt. Divide burrata mixture among plates, drizzle with oil, and top with barley salad; season with pepper.
• DO AHEAD: Barley can be cooked 1 day ahead; cover and chill. Breadcrumbs can be toasted 1 day ahead; store airtight at room temperature.
