The Torn Salad - mozzarella, fig and basil

Summer Style, Summer Salad

Blistering 40 degrees, all you want to eat is an ice cube. You know the rath that your stomach will hold over you if you follow through on this ice cube desire for lunch or dinner. So what do you make that’s super simple, light, refreshing and nourishing, all at the same time?

No cooking, little cutting, simple ingredients and a vision of summer - whip up this fig, burrata and herbed salad.  Without a full mixed leaf or other filling bases, this salad packs a punch in the toppings so ensure you buy good quality ingredients. Apart from this, there are no rules, guidelines or real recipe to follow - simply roughly cut or tear (I prefer to tear herbs and burrata for a textural look) and place in a bowl. I used burrata (could also use mozzarella), mixed cherry tomatoes, figs, basil and shiso but adapt as you wish. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with sea salt. That’s it!

So, don’t let your tummy go hungry even when your motivation or desire to cook is at zero. Rustle up this easy, dreamy summer style salad for the perfect combination of light, fresh, simple and delicious heat wave option.
