Watermelon Prosciutto Burrata Salad Recipe 435

Steps:

• Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Prepare an ice bath. Blanch basil leaves in boiling water for 1 minute. Remove with a slotted spoon and plunge into ice bath. Drain and pat leaves dry. Place garlic clove in boiling water for a few minutes to soften, if not using roasted garlic. Place basil leaves, garlic and olive oil in a blender and process until smooth. Pour mixture through a fine wire-mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth set over a bowl. Let stand until oil drips through, about 10 minutes. Discard solids. Combine cherry tomatoes, lemon juice and remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a bowl; toss to coat. Place watermelon on a serving dish. Top watermelon evenly with tomato mixture; drizzle generously with basil oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Gently stir in arugula leaves. Top with cheese and prosciutto slices. Drizzle with basil oil and crushed red pepper. Garnish with thinly sliced basil and mint.

Steps:

• Put the vinegar, mustard, egg yolk, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl or 2-cup glass measuring cup. Slowly whisk in the olive oil, making an emulsion. Place the arugula in a large salad bowl, pour on enough vinaigrette to moisten, and toss well.
• Distribute the arugula on 4 dinner plates. Place half a burrata, cut side down, in the middle of the plate and artfully arrange the prosciutto around it (I tear each slice of prosciutto in half lengthwise). Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve.
