Labor weekend was filled with family time, bbqs, friends and lots of get togethers. However, by Monday night I had enough of grilled anything and wasn’t very hungry. So I looked through my refrigerator, picked some ingredients and just threw them together to create the Beets and Burrata Salad.
Beets and Burrata Salad
I don’t write my recipes down, a lot of times I stumble upon something good but next time I try to replicate it it’s not quite exactly the same. So I promised myself that if I like how a new recipe came out, I’ll write it down and post it on my blog. Which means that even when I don’t come up with an elaborate recipe, I’ll still have it in the blog written down for next time I’ll need it.
I chopped beets (had boiled and cooled them the day before for a big salad to go with bbq), tomatoes, tomatoes, red peppers, celery, and green peppers. Very carefully I put the burrata on top so it wouldn’t get stained red from the beets. I don’t mind it looking red while I eat it, I just wanted a clean picture shot for my Instagram. I then decorated it with fresh basil, drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with salt to taste. Voila, quick gourmet fresh salad at your fingertips!
This fresh beets and burrata salad is easy to make, it is refreshing and it is healthy so feel free to indulge!

That looks so tasty!!!! I have found a love for beets!
Salads are the very best! I love recipes and want to incorporate more salads into my diet. Have a great day!
Beets!!!! Uuh-uuh….am scared of those. Is there a close substitute for it?
Thanks for sharing.
Scared of beets?
This looks absolutely delicious!! Can’t wait to try it out.
i get a ton of beets and never know what to do with them. this solves it.
Sounds yummy
Beets ..I can’t eat it standalone however as a salad with this combo, it looks a workable deal for me!!
I absolutely love beets! And I love putting them in salads. This looks like such a great combination! Definitely will have to try this one out
Thank you Sasha:).

Thank you Stephanie:)
tHAT LOOKS DELICIOUS. I LOVE BEETS AND BURRATA. I CAN NEVER FIND A RECIPE FOR BURRATA THAT ISNT TOO RICH. tHE BEETS WOULD LIGHTEN THE BURRATA.
Thank you:), they did lighten it up indeed. My husband used some toasted bread too for the same reason and he said it complimented it very well.
Although, I am not a fan of beets….I look forward to trying this recipe!
Hope it will change your mind on beets, they are very healthy:). Thank you!!!
Healthy…beet is something one should always have…
Nice recipe.
Thank you
That sounds delicious. I’d never heard of burrata so had to google it, but i love beets and mozarella, so i think this will become a favourite in our house!
Thank you Trish!! I appreciate the feedback. Maybe I’ll add a paragraph to my blog post about burrata and explain what it is:)
Oh this sounds lovely! I recently found out I like beets, haha! I’m excited to try this recipe:)
It’s very easy, you can add other salad ingredients you like. Beets are very healthy:))
