Burrata and arugula salad is about contrast. Peppery greens meet soft, creamy cheese, and suddenly a handful of ingredients feels complete. There’s no heavy dressing, no complicated prep just balance and intention.

This is the kind of dish that shows how vegetables don’t need to work hard to feel special. Arugula brings bite and freshness, while burrata adds richness that turns a salad into something satisfying enough to stand on its own. A drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon are often all that’s needed.

In the Let’s Veg lifestyle, this salad represents ease and confidence. Eating more vegetables doesn’t always mean cooking longer or adding more steps. Sometimes it means choosing ingredients that naturally complement each other and letting them shine. It’s simple food that feels thoughtful perfect for everyday meals or shared tables.
