Notes: *to choose a melon: I love the firm flesh of the canary melon in this salad, it has a great texture! A cantaloupe would be a great alternative if you can’t find this variety To get the best texture out of your burrata, let it come to temperature before slicing. Allow the cheese to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before plating for best results. To make this dish low fodmap, remove the shallots and simply add 1 tsp of sherry vinegar to the arranged salad. This will give the brightness to the dish. Most people tolerate burrata but if you prefer, you can substitute for fresh Buffalo Mozzarella.
