Everyday Celebrations from Scratch
by Maria Provenzano
Serves 4
- 2 grapefruit
- 2 oranges
- 2 (8 ounce) balls of burrata
- 1/3 cup chopped mint
- 1/3 cup chopped or torn basil
- Edible flowers, optional
- Olive Oil to taste
- Honey to taste
- Sea Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste, optional
Cut the grapefruit and oranges by cutting off the outer peel and the pith. Cut the fruit into about 1/4 to 1/2-inch pieces, or segment the grapefruit and the oranges by using a knife to cut off the peel, then use a small sharp knife to cut between each segment to remove the pieces of the fruit. Whichever way you prefer. Place the burrata onto a platter and use your hands to break it up into smaller pieces around the platter. Place the cut grapefruit and oranges around the burrata. Sprinkle the mint and basil over citrus and burrata. Place the edible flowers around the platter. Lightly drizzle olive oil and honey over the top and then sprinkle with sea salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the flavors and add more of anything you like.
