Ingredients

White Balsamic Chili Crisp Vinaigrette

  • 5 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons chili onion crisp (like Trader Joe's or Momofuku brand)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • salt to taste

Salad

  • 3 mini cucumbers, diced
  • 1/4 cup wasabi peas
  • 1/2 cup snow pea microgreens (or freshly cut pea shoots)
  • 1 tablespoon white and/or black sesame seeds or a mix
  • 2 tablespoons chopped mint leaves

Instructions

Make the Vinagrette

  • Put all of the vinaigrette ingredients in a jar. Cover tightly and shake vigorously until emulsified.
  • You can make this ahead of time and refrigerate for a day or two. Remove 15 minutes before making the salad so it can come up to room temperature. Shake again before using.

Construct the Salad

  • Scatter the cucumber quarters on a plate.
  • Use a spoon to drizzle 2-3 tablespoons of the vinaigrette, or to taste, over the cucumbers.
  • Scatter the wasabi peas, mint and pea shoots amongst the cucumber.
  • Place the burrata ball in the middle of the plate. Sprinkle the sesame seeds, concentrating them over the burrata, then the rest of the salad.
  • Finish with a turn of salt and serve immediately.
