This mix of crunchy shaved vegetables, soft cheese and the floral pop of poppy seeds makes for a salad showy enough for guests. It can accommodate any number of raw winter vegetables, be made a few hours before serving and provide a speedy solution for using up all those cold-weather root vegetables. Use a vegetable peeler or a mandoline to cut them into thin slices or matchsticks. Do not make long ribbons as they may turn limp and soggy.
Total time: 25 mins
Make Ahead: The salad can be made and refrigerated up to 3 hours before serving.
Storage Notes: Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days, depending on the vegetables used.
When you scale a recipe, keep in mind that cooking times and temperatures, pan sizes and seasonings may be affected, so adjust accordingly. Also, amounts listed in the directions will not reflect the changes made to ingredient amounts.
Tested size: 4 servings
Drain the burrata and set aside at room temperature to soften, about 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the vegetables with the olive oil, lemon juice and zest, poppy seeds, vinegar and a light sprinkling of salt. Toss with two spoons or your hands until evenly mixed and the vegetables are slightly softened, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Taste, and season with additional oil, vinegar and/or salt as needed.
Divide the burrata between 4 plates, turning the casing inside-out so the soft, creamy middle is exposed. Drizzle with more olive oil and season lightly with salt. Top with the vegetable salad and another drizzle of olive oil, and serve.
