    In honor of the fall season, I decided to turn my go-to arugula salad into something a bit more special by topping it with roasted root vegetables and creamy burrata cheese. Whenever you roast vegetables in a hot oven the natural sugars caramelize resulting in a sweet, tender end result.

    Burrata Cheese

What makes burrata extra special is that it’s formed into a pouch and then filled with soft, stringy curd and cream.
