Burrata With Pickled Nectarine And Red Onion Salad
The vibrant colours of this dish is just gorgeous! It’s hard to resist when Burrata cheese is sitting in your fridge, my family love it and barely lasts 24hrs in my home! This is a perfect summer dish of creamy Burrata, pickled nectarine and red onion, rocket salad dressed in extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, pepper and mint! This is major deliciousness!

2 cups red wine vinegar
2 tbsp sugar

Gently place burrata cheese in the centre and cut one section to allow the centre cream to escape a little!

Enjoy!
