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 ¼ 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.
