Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes around the burrata on top of the greens.

Step 6

Spray a light mist of olive oil over the salad to help distribute flavor without adding excess fat.

Step 7

Drizzle the lemon juice over the salad. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Tear or chop the fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the top of the salad.

Step 9

Finally, drizzle the cooled balsamic glaze over the entire salad, especially focusing on the burrata.
