You know those salads that look simple… but taste like something you’d order in a really good restaurant?
This is exactly that.
Creamy burrata, sweet pomegranate, crunchy walnuts, and a light honey balsamic dressing that ties everything together without overpowering it.
It’s fresh, slightly sweet, slightly tangy — and ready in just 10 minutes.
Ingredients for 2 salads
- fresh spinach (5–6 handfuls)
- 2 burrata
- 1/2 pomegranate (seeds)
- 1/3 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
Dressing:
- 1 tbsp honey (rapeseed honey works great)
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1–2 tsp water
- pinch of salt
How to Make It
- Start with the base
Place fresh spinach on a plate or shallow bowl. - Add the burrata
Place it right in the center. Don’t cut it yet — it’s better when it opens naturally while eating. - Add toppings
Sprinkle pomegranate seeds and chopped walnuts all over. - Make the dressing
In a small bowl, mix honey, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, water, and a pinch of salt.
Stir until smooth. - Finish the salad
Drizzle the dressing over everything just before serving.
What Makes This Work
It’s all about balance:
- creamy burrata
- fresh spinach
- sweet pomegranate
- crunchy walnuts
- light dressing
Nothing dominates — the flavors complement each other perfectly.
How to Serve
It works perfectly as a light dinner or a fresh side for grilled meat.
And if I want it a bit more filling, I grab some baguette — dipping it into that dressing is just too good to skip.
FAQ
Can I use a different cheese?
Yes, but burrata really makes the difference here. Mozzarella works, but it won’t be as creamy.
What nuts can I use instead of walnuts?
I recommend experimenting, but I most often go for pecans or pistachios.
