This summer has blessed us with many warm days, much to our delight. On these days, I often crave something simple and preferably cold. One afternoon, as we sat outside enjoying ice-cold water and snacking on grapes in the garden, I stumbled upon this dish on Instagram while scrolling away. It’s an incredibly simple dish, yet packed with Mediterranean flavors that burst with every bite. When I served the platter in the garden, my husband exclaimed, “A deconstructed bruschetta!” Yes, that’s one way to put it, I thought, as I eagerly dug in.
The dish itself was a true Mediterranean delight. At the center of the plate were two beautiful pieces of burrata cheese, creamy and soft, surrounded by olives and roasted cherry tomatoes that added a burst of sweetness with each bite. I sprinkled the whole thing with a generous drizzle of pesto and a touch of crema di balsamico, which gave it a rich, tangy depth. A handful of arugula provided a fresh peppery kick, balancing out the richness of the cheese.
To complete the experience, I served it with toasted garlic bread, perfect for scooping up all the delicious flavors. It was pure bliss – every bite felt like a mini vacation to the Mediterranean, and the combination of textures and flavors was simply irresistible. A dish like this is proof that simple ingredients, when combined thoughtfully, can create something truly extraordinary.
Enjoy!
