Ingredients

¼ cup pine nuts toasted, about 60 grams (optional)
5 ounces spring mix
½ teaspoon kosher salt (to taste)
¼ teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
10 ounces cherry tomatoes quartered
1 large yellow bell pepper diced. (Can sub for any color bell pepper)
8 ounces burrata cheese
handful of basil leaves cut into ribbons (chiffonade), optional
pesto vinaigrette to serve (optional, can be served with whatever dressing you like)

Instructions

Optional step. Skip if not using pine nuts. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pine nuts to skillet and move them around frequently to prevent burning. After 3-5 minutes, the pine nuts should smell nutty and be golden brown in color. Once toasted, remove from the skillet and set aside.

Notes

Pesto vinaigrette dressing is not included in the nutrition facts, add to taste. It can be made 5-7 days in advance.
Toasting the pine nuts is optional.
Spring mix can be replaced with any other leafy green of choice.
Use your favorite veggies. Bell peppers and tomatoes are optional.
Use fresh Ingredients. Use the freshest ingredients possible, especially for the greens, cherry tomatoes, and basil. Fresh ingredients will make all the difference for the salad.
Toast the pine nuts carefully. Be careful not to burn the pine nuts when toasting them! Toasting them for a few minutes enhances their flavor. Just make sure to keep an eye on them and stir frequently to make sure they toasted evenly, and don't burn.
Season everything in stages. Be sure to add salt and pepper while putting the salad together to ensure that everything tastes great. This will make a load of difference in the final result!
Layer the ingredients. Another component of a great salad is having a little bit of everything in each bite. To ensure each bite is delicious, add the different ingredients in stages.
Don't add the dressing until just before serving. Adding the dressing can make the salad wilted. Add dressing right before you plan to serve it!
