Preparation
Marinating the Burrata
Mix the Herb Infusion
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, chopped oregano, and thyme.
Season
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Marinate Burrata
Gently coat the burrata balls with the herb mixture and let marinate for 10 minutes.
Do not over-marinate the burrata to prevent it from losing its creamy texture.

Toss
Gently toss to combine, ensuring even distribution of ingredients.
Add Basil
Tear in the fresh basil leaves for added aroma and flavor.
Cooking Process
Simmer the Reduction
In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and honey. Bring to a gentle simmer over low heat.
Reduce the Mixture
Allow to simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let cool.
Combine and Serve
Arrange the marinated burrata over the salad base and drizzle with the balsamic reduction just before serving.
