Ingredients

Produce

Grapefruit 1
Lime 1
Blood orange 1
Fennel, shaved thin 1 bulb
Sweet basil 1 bunch
Hyssop (optional) 0 a few sprigs

Dairy

Burrata 1 ball

Dressing A

Grapefruit juice, freshly squeezed 1/2 grapefruit
Lime juice, freshly squeezed 1/2 lime
Olive oil 60 ml
Chili oil 2 tbsp
Honey 2-3 tbsp
Salt to taste

Method

1

Make Dressing A

Whisk together grapefruit juice, lime juice, olive oil, chili oil, honey, and salt until combined. Taste and adjust seasoning.

2

Make Dressing B

Reserve 1/3 of dressing A. Stir in an extra 1 tbsp honey until smooth. Set aside; this will glaze the burrata at the end.

3

Segment the Citrus

Supreme the grapefruit and blood orange: slice off the peel and pith, then cut between the membranes to release clean segments. Reserve any juice.

4

Shave the Fennel

Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice fennel paper-thin. Soak in ice water for 5 minutes to crisp up. Drain well before using.

The move

Soaking the fennel in ice water removes bitterness and keeps it crunchy.

5

Toss the Salad

Gently combine citrus segments, shaved fennel, and basil leaves with dressing A. Taste and adjust salt and acidity.

The move

After tossing, always taste. If it needs more sweetness add honey, more acidity add a squeeze of lime.

6

Plate

Arrange the salad on a plate. Place the burrata in the center. Just before serving, drizzle dressing B over the burrata. Garnish with hyssop if using.

The move

Add the burrata at the last moment, if it sits in the dressing, the whey will weep and dilute the sauce.
