Ingredients

  • 2 balls burrata cheese
  • 4 cups cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon, or a combination, cubed or scooped into balls
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp hot honey
  • 1/2 tsp flaky sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup toasted pistachios or pine nuts (optional)
  • 1 tbsp balsamic glaze (optional)

Instructions

  1. Arrange the melon pieces evenly on a large serving platter.
  2. Place the burrata in the center of the platter or divide it among individual serving plates.
  3. Scatter the fresh basil and mint leaves over the melon.
  4. Drizzle the olive oil evenly across the salad.
  5. Finish with a generous drizzle of hot honey.
  6. Season with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  7. Sprinkle with toasted pistachios or pine nuts if desired.
  8. Drizzle with balsamic glaze for extra sweetness and tang, if using.

Notes

  • Use a mix of watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew for extra color and flavor.
  • Substitute fresh mozzarella if burrata is unavailable.
  • Add thin slices of prosciutto for a savory variation.
  • Replace pistachios with toasted almonds or walnuts.
  • Use regular honey instead of hot honey for a milder flavor.
  • Finish with fresh lemon zest for added brightness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day and add the hot honey just before serving.
