"The temperatures are rising..bring on the salads! This one is ripe sweet honeydew, avocado slices & shaved cucumbers over greens topped with creamy burrata sprinkled with toasted pine nuts & fresh basil. I dressed it with a light vinaigrette made with olive oil, champagne vinegar & a touch of honey. So refreshing! 💚"
