Yogurt Pesto Dip with Burrata and Roasted Tomatoes is a vibrant, creamy dip that combines rich pesto flavors, tangy yogurt, creamy burrata, and sweet roasted tomatoes, making it an impressive and sophisticated appetizer.

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
  2. 1/4 cup pesto (store-bought or homemade)
  3. 1/2 cup burrata cheese (torn into pieces)
  4. 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  5. 1 tbsp olive oil
  6. Salt and pepper, to taste
  7. 1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)
  8. 1 tbsp balsamic glaze (optional for drizzling)
  9. Fresh crusty bread or veggies, for dipping

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the halved cherry tomatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, until the tomatoes are softened and slightly caramelized.

  1. In a medium bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with the pesto until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed (add a pinch of salt or pepper if necessary).
  2. Spread the pesto yogurt mixture into a shallow serving dish or bowl. Tear the burrata into smaller pieces and scatter it on top of the yogurt mixture.
  3. Once the tomatoes are done roasting, spoon them over the top of the burrata, allowing the juices from the tomatoes to mingle with the yogurt and pesto.
  4. Drizzle with balsamic glaze, and garnish with fresh basil.
  5. Serve immediately with fresh crusty bread, crackers, or raw vegetables for dipping.

Notes

  • You can add roasted red peppers or olives for extra flavor.
  • For a nut-free pesto, use sunflower seeds or omit them altogether.
  • If burrata isn’t available, fresh mozzarella can be used as a substitute.
  • For a spicier dip, add red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the yogurt pesto base.
  • Roasted garlic can be added to the yogurt pesto mixture for more depth of flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat gently if needed, but avoid over-softening the burrata.
