This salad combines creamy burrata cheese and young lettuce leaves with sweet blueberries, juicy apricots, crispy cucumber and a tangy-sweet vinaigrette.
Intensely aromatic, spicy and sweet, juicy and crispy. Perfect for lunch or dinner, preferably with a baguette toasted with garlic oil. A perfect inspiration for the rest of this year’s warm days.
Tip: Nectarines, peaches or plums could take the place of apricots. Add arugula for a more peppery taste or sorrel, which has a hint of lemon and makes a surprising addition with an exquisite accent.
