Happy Thursday guys! Recipe of the day is Burrata Lentil Salad – creamy, filling and absolutely delicious! 🤤
You might know I’m a bit obsessed with Burrata cheese and could probably have it every other day. However, I haven’t got a seasonal Burrata recipe, one that would warm your heart and soul and fill you up. And because I absolutely love lentils, this is what I came up with – Burrata, Lentils, Sun-dried Tomatoes, Crumbs and Homemade Pesto. 👌
Seriously guys, this salad is just divine. The ingredient works so well together. And the golden crumbs soaked in olive oil and pesto are just the best. I think I need to make it again very soon. 🤤 It is super rich so it could be served for a main. I actually feel quite full after.
What you need:
- Burrata cheese
- lentils (I used green, but brown work fine too)
- sun-dried tomatoes
- basil
- olive oil
- lemon
- pine nuts
- stale bread
Here’s how to make the Burrata Lentil Salad
I made two generous salads with the below ingredients.
Ingredients:
- Burrata cheese, 2x125g
- around 15 sun-dried tomatoes
- 150g green lentils, cooked
For the Pesto:

- 1tbsp lemon juice
- salt to taste
For the crumbs:
- 2 slices of stale bread
- 1tbsp olive
- 1tsp garlic powder

Preparation:
- To make the pesto, simply blitz the ingredients together
- To make the crumbs, blitz the ingredients together, then gently fry them in a heated pan with olive oil for a few minutes until crispy and golden
- Arrange the cooked lentil between two serving plates
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes, pesto and Burrata cheese

Enjoy!
