Blood Orange Salad with Burrata and Pesto
I just love this Blood Orange Salad with Burrata and Pesto recipe and I just had to share it with you all. Slices of beautiful, deep blood oranges on top of burrata cheese, which is one of my favorites and garnished with toasted pine nuts and fresh basil leaves. The pesto made from basil leaves, garlic, pine nuts, olive oil, Parmigiana and lemon juice, may just be what makes this salad everything that it is.

OMGGG this blood oranage salad burrata is the BESTTTT heaven on earth ima make this a looot. Once every week when I decide to be healthy..lol.
Thanks for sharing this recipe with us, it's fantastic and really starts a party in my mouth.
Love how zesty this entire salad is, it's very good and would totally recommend it.
Yummy! The only word I can think of when I tried this, totally going to share this.
Brilliant little recipe, would've never though of anything like this.
I took a bunch of photos for my instagram page and everyone was begging me for the recipe because it looked sooo good.
Would recommend this and the tuna salad with garlic toast, both of my favorites honestly.
My hubby really likes this blood orange salad, he says it makes him feel healthy, LOL!
I made this delicious and beautiful salad. I usually make little towers with the tomatoes, cheese and basil but this was so much better and the flavors married better.
Prepared this today for the family, will be definitely preparing this again for the dinner guests tomorrow!
I love this kind of dish! Great photos too though mine of course wasn't as picture perfect.
The taste of this is super unique i've never had anything like it, 5 stars from me.
So flavorful and so good and it also has such a nice color to it! Blood orange salad has officially become my second favorite along with the maroccan carrot salad.
Although there is so many ingredients I still had to add some salt and pepper to the mix as there was a bit of blandness.
Amazingly simple and tasty, so easy to prepare, really happy with the end result of this burrata and pesto salad.
Can't say I'm a giant fan of the pesto with oranges but its worth making again just for the kids since they liked it :)
Thank you so much - This recipe is perfection, wouldn't change anything about it.
Me and my husband made the salad and it seemed like it was missing something. Swapped the cheese out for mozzarella and added tomatoes.
This is amazing!! Could not ask for a better salad than this, it was so flavourful.
I made this to bring to work the next day for lunch because its so affordable and easy !
Too sour for me but atleast my husband liked it.
I skipped the basil and lemon since its already very sour cause of the blood orange, wonderful recipe nonetheless.
Great recipe, thanks so much for sharing going to be making this once every week.
Maybe I'd make this more often if it was a bit more filling but it's not, it freaking delicious thouhg!
Not sure what to say about this, it was really good but to me i think there shouldve been a little less pine nuts, other than that it was perfect.
The coloration of the orange is super pretty in this dish with all the other ingriedents, it really looks as good as it taste.
So delicious & colorful!!
