Grilled Tomatoes with Burrata and Parsley Salad combines juicy grilled tomatoes with creamy burrata cheese. This dish also features fresh parsley.
The smokiness of the grilled tomatoes enhances the richness of the burrata. As a result, it makes a perfect appetizer or side for summer gatherings.
Serving and Pairing Suggestions
Serve this dish warm or at room temperature, drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar for added flavor. It pairs wonderfully with crusty bread for dipping, or as a side to grilled meats such as Mediterranean-Style Brisket or Grilled Chicken Salpicón Salad.
For a light meal, consider enjoying it with a side of Greek Salad with Garlic Croutons or Chickpea, Arugula, and Pita Bread Salad.
Tips and Notes
- Tomatoes: Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best results. Heirloom or beefsteak varieties work well for grilling.
- Burrata: Use fresh burrata cheese for a creamy texture. If burrata is unavailable, fresh mozzarella is a good substitute.
- Grilling: Cook the tomatoes over medium heat until slightly charred, usually about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. While the tomatoes may lose some texture, they can still be enjoyed cold or gently reheated.
