Easy Burrata With Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Summer Fruits

Ingredients

  • Ripe summer fruit like peaches, tomatoes, melon (watermelon, cantaloupe or honeydew), strawberries, or blackberries
  • Basil
  • Sae Salt
  • 2 Teaspoons of Morocco Gold

Instructions

  1. Burrata: Place one ball on a plate. If you’d like, you can also tear off pieces of a second ball to add visual appeal
  2. Fruit or tomatoes: Surround it with ripe summer fruit like peaches, tomatoes, melon (watermelon, cantaloupe or honeydew), strawberries, or blackberries.
  3. Herbs: Add fresh summer herbs! Basil is our favorite (reminiscent of a Caprese salad), but oregano and thyme are also lovely.
  4. Olive oil: Drizzle with a high quality extra virgin olive oil such as Morocco Gold Extra Virgin Olive Oil, which ties it all together.
  5. Sea salt (we like Maldon): Top with chunky sea salt, which adds a nice crunch and pop of flavor. We like using Maldon, an English type of sea salt with a clean, pure flavor (it’s pretty easy to find at grocery stores).

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to med-high heat.
  2. Make the Dressing: Place all ingredients except the cilantro in a blender, and blend until smooth, scraping down sides as needed. Add the cilantro and blend again. Taste, and adjust jalapeno, honey, and lime to your taste.
  3. Grill: Brush each piece of salmon with olive oil, then lightly season each side with salt, chili powder and cumin. Place the salmon on a greased, hot grill. Check after 2-3 minutes for grill marks, then turn. Continue grilling for a few more minutes, to medium (or your preferred doneness), and turn the heat off.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, toss arugula, cucumber, and onions with a little dressing (you won’t need all) then fold in the avocado, tomatoes, half the pumpkin seeds, and half the Cotija cheese. Taste and add salt if needed.
  5. Place on a serving platter or in a big wide serving bowl (or divide among four plates), and top with the salmon.
  6. Sprinkle with remaining pumpkin seeds, Cotija cheese, and cilantro leaves. Serve immediately.
