Questions

Can I make Burrata Salad dairy-free?

Not cleanly. Here the dairy (8 oz fresh burrata cheese) is the backbone of the dish, and plant-based substitutes change both its texture and its flavor. If you need strictly dairy-free, start from the dairy-free salad collection instead.

Is Burrata Salad vegan?

No, though it is vegetarian. What keeps it from vegan is 8 oz fresh burrata cheese. For fully plant-based entries, see the vegan salad collection.

How many calories are in Burrata Salad?

One serving (the recipe makes 4) is about 320 calories, with 14 g protein, 12 g carbohydrate and 24 g fat, plus 2 g fiber and 420 mg sodium.

How long does Burrata Salad keep?

Once dressed, the arugula will wilt within hours, so keep the dressing apart and toss Burrata Salad just before serving. Undressed and refrigerated, the components hold about two days. It does not freeze.

Can I halve or double Burrata Salad?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Halved, the burrata drops from 8 oz to 4 oz; doubled, it is 1 lb. Every line in this entry carries its half and double quantity, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. There is no cooking pitfall here; the quantities simply scale.
