This Fine Dining Burrata Salad makes an elegant starter for festive occasions, thanks to its fun bow-tie detail.

It pairs wonderfully with crispy sourdough crostini and your favorite glass of bubbly.
You can make a small plate as I have done, or add more of everything if you’re serving a big group.
The avocado detail isn’t as complicated as it may look, but it helps to have a ripe one so the slices hold together.
Recipe Tip
Use red cabbage, black olives, or seaweed to make the butterfly details (you can omit).
