Burrata + Shaved Fennel Salad

If you're looking for an easy yet delicious salad for entertaining, this shaved fennel and burrata salad is it!

This salad is bright and fresh yet has the YUM factor because of the addition of burrata cheese. Opt for the freshest and best cheese you can find, this will make all the difference. If you're not into cheese, you can skip it-- you'll still be left with a lovely dish.

This recipe is super easy, it just calls for letting your fennel marinate for a bit. 10 minutes is the minimum, but it will get even better over time so it's a great dish to make ahead of time especially if you're entertaining.

The magic of this dish is the contrast of the crisp and fresh veggies to the creamy burrata. YUM.
