Burrata

Burrata, an ultra-creamy fresh mozzarella, is available at specialty cheese shops.

This dinner salad combines decadent burrata cheese with a spicy tahini dressing that clings to every crinkly leaf of Napa cabbage.

Salting and straining ripe tomatoes extracts their flavorful juices; when combined with verdant basil oil, it makes a slightly sweet and vegetal salad dressing.

Salad, meet pizza. Pizza, salad. The key here is to get the crust as thin as possible when stretching it out.

If you can’t find burrata, fresh mozzarella makes a fine substitute.
