Ever wonder “what to make with burrata cheese“? A burrata salad, of course! While you can always add burrata to other dishes, like pasta, I always find burrata salads to be downright delicious, crowd pleasing, and easy to make. And as a Registered Dietitian, I love that burrata salad recipes highlight seasonal and fresh vegetables and fruit.

What is burrata cheese?

Burrata cheese is a fresh soft Italian cheese. It is made from cow’s milk and cream, and looks like a ball of fresh mozzarella cheese. The outer casing of burrata is mozzarella cheese, which is filled with the creamiest stracciatella cream that oozes out when cut into.

What does burrata taste like?

Burrata tastes similar to fresh mozzarella cheese, but it is richer, saltier, and more flavorful. Overall, the flavor is buttery, milky, and mild.

Where to buy burrata cheese?

You can buy burrata cheese in most major grocery stores these days. You can also buy burrata cheese at smaller specialty cheese shops or Italian markets.
