Burrata Watermelon Salad with Thai Basil






Make this when you have little time to make a salad. Make it when you want a simple but delicious side. Make it because it tastes so damn good. Believe my words and just make it. 

This barebones salad needs the sweetest watermelon, room temperature burrata, thai basil, extra virgin olive oil, slat and pepper. Use the best sea salt you have. Grind your pepper fresh. Flavor rests in the freshness of product. Chinks of watermelon surround a mound of burrata. Slivers of basil fleck the salad. Olive oil ribbons coat the salad. Season well. Reap the rewards!
