    Published: Apr 5, 2022 · Updated: May 12, 2023 by Jacqui Wormington · This post may contain affiliate links. · 8 Comments

    This Tomato Burrata Salad recipe couldn't be easier! It's whipped together in just a few minutes, topped with simple balsamic vinegar and olive oil. The recipe uses plant-based cheese to make it entirely dairy free. In fact, the recipe is completely vegan. A summer salad that lets seasonal tomatoes, like heirlooms, shine. Serve as a light and simple appetizer or side dish at your next garden party or BBQ.

    Tomato Burrata Salad Vegan

    This post is supported by Monari Federzoni. But as always, all thoughts and opinions are my own. A big thanks to the supporting brands that make The Simple Sprinkle possible.

    💡 The recipe in a nutshell

    • Vegan (egg free and dairy free)
    • Quick and easy-to-make
    • Very flavorful and delicious
    • Perfect side, or appetizer, for parties and BBQs
    • Summer salad

    Where do I get vegan Burrata?

    This recipe is basically a slight variation on Caprese salad, using (vegan) Burrata cheese instead of traditional mozzarella. Burrata is like a fresh mozzarella ball with a creamy center. However, vegan Mozzarella is a little bit easier to find in our grocery stores and works just as fine for this salad!  

    If you are buying plant-based Mozzarella from the store, and want to add Burrata cream simply mix  Â¼ cup vegan sour cream (eg from Tofutti) and 1 tablespoon plant milk (such as cashew milk). Then drizzle over the mozzarella pieces.

    Thankfully, there are many recipes on how to make plant-based Mozzarella and Burrata out there too. Giving you the opportunity to make your very own vegan Burrata! Most of these plant-based Burrata and Mozzarella recipes use cashew nuts.

    High quality balsamic vinegar from Monari

    Monari's Balsamic Vinegar is made by a family business. Their mission is to remain authentic and passionate, making incredibly delicious vinegar!

    The story of Monari Federzoni begins in 1912 in a small barn above Mrs. Elena’s grocery store in Monari. Which is in the heart of the historic center of Modena in Italy. Today Monari Federzoni has grown into a recognized brand appreciated in more than 56 countries.

    I love their vinegar since they are affordable, yet high-quality. All their balsamic are incredibly flavorful and work great on their own. However, they also make beautiful mixed vinaigrettes too. For this recipe, I am using their Aged Balsamic Vinegar of Modena.

      Wow, I really miss mozarella burrata, I used to eat it often. I didn't realize that you can actually buy or make a vegan version of that.
      Great recipe, thank you 🤩
