Radishes with Burrata

This vibrant radish and burrata salad is a masterclass in contrasting textures and delicate flavours. The creamy, indulgent centre of the burrata provides the perfect backdrop for the peppery crunch of thinly sliced watermelon radishes. With its striking pink hues and elegant presentation, this vegetarian dish makes a sophisticated starter or a light seasonal lunch that requires minimal effort for maximum visual impact.

Zesty lemon and fresh chives cut through the richness of the cheese, creating a balanced plate that celebrates simple, high-quality ingredients. It is a wonderful addition to a sharing platter or a summer garden party menu. Serve this simple salad with a few slices of toasted sourdough or crusty baguette to mop up the citrus-flecked olive oil and creamy cheese.
