Boo-rata Halloween Salad

Prep Time20 minutes
Servings: 6 people

Ingredients

  • 3-4 heirloom tomatoes
  • 3 burrata
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • fresh basil leaves
  • 2 kalamata olives
  • 2 bocconcini
  • metal straw
  • piping utensil / bag
  • olive oil
  • sea salt
  • black pepper

Instructions

  • Slice the tomatoes and arrange them on a platter. If you have various colors like I do, place the darkest red at the top, one that is less red around the middle, and then the yellow tomato at the bottom to create an ombré effect.
  • Dry the burrata off with a piece of kitchen towel.
  • Place the cheese in the center of the platter.
  • Slice the bocconcini balls and cut the slices into an oval shape to make the white part of the eyes.
  • Use a metal straw to make pupils out of kalamata olives and top these onto the mozzarella eyes.
  • Place the eyes on top of the burrata.
  • Squeeze balsamic glaze into a piping utensil (or pipe it straight from the bottle).
  • Shape the mouth and the curved bottom of the ghosts with balsamic glaze.
  • Drizzle the tomatoes with olive oil, sea salt, and pepper (try to avoid getting olive oil on the ghosts as the balsamic glaze will run).
  • Sprinkle sea salt on the boo-rata.
  • Serve.
