What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? The Daily Special: Uptown Burrata Masterpiece Salad! I stumbled onto this decadent cheese with the soft creamy center at first bite when my husband and I visited Little Italy in Boston. Hearing the excitement in the voice of our waiter piqued my interest. Oh my, this has to be the best cheese ever! The easiest way to describe it is to say that it’s a type of fresh mozzarella cheese with a hollow center filled with thick cream that boasts of a rich buttery taste. Make sense? It’s meant to be eaten at room temperature, so don’t waste your money melting it on a pizza.
UPTOWN BURRATA MASTERPIECE SALAD

3-4 Campari tomatoes, quartered

I’ve heard arugula is bitter. That’s why I haven’t tried it yet. Is it?

I hadn’t noticed. Perhaps because I don’t eat it alone. 🍓

I like the idea of the tangy balsamic reduction with the cheese and tomatoes, too. Sounds like a delicious salad.
