Burrata Cheese with Shaved Vegetable Salad

This elegant burrata and shaved vegetable salad is a celebration of contrasting textures and bright, clean flavours. The bitterness of the Belgian endive pairs beautifully with the aniseed notes of thinly sliced fennel and the crunch of fresh celery. By using a mandoline to shave the vegetables wafer-thin, you create a delicate base that allows the rich, creamy centre of the burrata cheese to truly shine.

As a sophisticated vegetarian starter or a light seasonal lunch, this dish is as simple to assemble as it is impressive to serve. The vibrant green celery leaves add an extra layer of herbal freshness, while a final drizzle of high-quality Tuscan olive oil ties the elements together. Serve it with some crusty sourdough bread to mop up the creamy cheese and citrus dressing.
