This Fine Dining Burrata Salad makes an elegant starter for all festive occasions with the fun bow tie detail. It pairs wonderfully with crispy sourdough crostini and your favorite glass of bubbly.
You can make a small plate like 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.
