Easy Carrot Salad with Burrata

Kitchen Spotlight Crisp garden salads with zingy dressings.

This elegant dish blends the oven-roasted veggies’ sweetness with the fresh taste of burrata cheese.

Key Ingredients

  • Beets: Select firm beets of similar size for even cooking

  • Fresh Rosemary: Provides aromatic depth to roasted vegetables

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Clean vegetables thoroughly under cold water
  2. Cut into uniform pieces for even cooking
  3. Pat completely dry for better caramelization
  4. Coat evenly with olive oil
  5. Arrange with space between pieces
  6. Preheat oven for optimal roasting
  7. Keep red beets separate to prevent staining
  8. Turn vegetables halfway through cooking
  9. Test tenderness with a knife tip
  10. Allow to cool slightly before assembly

Making the Vinaigrette

Whisk together olive oil, honey, and seasonings until well emulsified. Keep at room temperature and dress the vegetables while they're still slightly warm to help absorb the flavors.

Perfect Roasting Technique

Achieving proper caramelization requires high heat and adequate spacing between vegetables. This allows them to roast rather than steam, developing deep, concentrated flavors.

Assembly Tips

Place the burrata over slightly warm vegetables - this allows it to soften gently without completely melting, creating the ideal creamy texture.

Recipe Tips & Tricks

→ Can you prep the vegetables ahead of time?
Sure, you can roast the veggies in advance and serve them at room temperature.
→ What can you use instead of burrata?
You can switch it out for mozzarella or feta for a slightly different vibe.
→ Are beet greens edible?
Absolutely! They're not just edible but also incredibly good for you.
→ Is dried rosemary okay to use?
Yes, but use a smaller amount since it’s stronger in flavor than fresh.
→ How do you store leftovers?
Keep the burrata and dressing separate. The roasted veggies will stay good in the fridge for up to 2 days.
