Best beet and burrata salad in Senoia, GA

Where this dish comes from
Burrata spent its first 80 years as a local secret of the Puglia region around Andria before rapid dissemination in the early 2000s made it globally famous. The cheese was created around 1920 as a way to use fresh mozzarella curd scraps and leftover cream — the cheesemaker filled a fresh mozzarella shell with stracciatella (shredded mozzarella soaked in heavy cream) and sealed it. The result: a cheese with the structural integrity to hold a shape and the creamy, liquid interior that makes it extraordinary when cut open. Today burrata is produced globally, but the best remains the fresh, day-of-make Pugliese original.
Make beet and burrata salad at home
We would rather you came in — but if you want to cook it, here is how it is actually made.
For the Burrata
- 1 fresh burrata ball (4-8 oz), at room temperature
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, roasted or blistered
- Fresh basil leaves
- 3 tbsp high-quality extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp aged balsamic reduction
- Flaky sea salt, cracked black pepper
- Grilled bread to serve
- Pull burrata from refrigeration at least 15 minutes before serving. Cold burrata tastes like nothing.
- Pool olive oil on the center of a plate. Place burrata in the center.
- Blister cherry tomatoes in a dry pan or roast at 425F for 8 minutes until just split and slightly caramelized. Arrange around the burrata.
- Tuck fresh basil leaves between the tomatoes. Season with flaky sea salt and cracked pepper.
- Drizzle aged balsamic over the tomatoes. Serve with grilled bread.
Cheffy’s note
Burrata is a trust exercise — you're betting entirely on the quality of the cheese. There is nowhere to hide. Use the freshest burrata you can find (check the make date — it should ideally be within 24–48 hours), serve it at room temperature, and season it generously with good olive oil and flaky salt. The accompaniments should complement, not compete: fresh tomatoes, stone fruit in season, or simply crostini and a balsamic drizzle. Do not bury it in toppings.
