The outer layer of burrata cheese is made from fresh mozzarella; the inside is laden with both cheese and cream and is quite soft. A few years ago most of the burrata available in North America was imported from Italy. Happily, its growing popularity here has inspired domestic production.

    burrata cheese

    Burrito is so yummy… I could have eaten the cheese right out of the container.

  • 2 medium tomatoes, on-the-vine or other sweet variety
  • 1 yellow bell pepper
  • Fresh dill for garnish

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh minced garlic
  • 1/8 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon leaves, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill leaves
  • Salt & fresh ground pepper to taste

Directions

campanelli pasta

Campanelle is shaped like miniature bells. Any hollow or twisted shape pasta works well in the this recipe.

Prepare salad ingredients: Slice the salmon into large bite size pieces. Cut the tomatoes into 6 wedges each; slice the bell peppers into roughly 3/8 inch pieces. Transfer these ingredients, along with the cooked pasta, to a serving bowl. Slice the burrata into 6 – 8 pieces and add to the salad. Toss the salad gently, allowing the cheese to break up and meld with the other ingredients.

Make the dressing: In a small bowl or shaker jar, whisk all of the dressing ingredients together until salad dressingwell emulsified. Taste test the dressing on a piece of pasta. Add additional herbs, salt and fresh ground pepper to taste.

Assemble the salad: Toss the salad with a light coating of the dressing. Add additional salt and fresh ground pepper to taste, and toss again. Note: The smoked salmon reduces the need for salt in this recipe. Divide the salad among plates and garnish with fresh dill leaves, if desired. Serve, and enjoy!
