Arugula Salad with Burrata, Shaved Mushrooms, and Truffle Oil

Arugula Salad with Burrata, Shaved Mushrooms, and Truffle Oil {Katie at the Kitchen Door}

This is my favorite salad, and I have a difficult time imagining the salad that will ever replace it as such. It’s something I order every time I go to Via Matta, an upscale Italian restaurant near my office in Boston, and I’ve gotten many of my coworkers addicted to it as well. I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to share it with you – I’m sorry to have been depriving you all this time. The only excuse that I can offer up is that I only recently acquired my first bottle of truffle oil – the key ingredient. During my quick business trip to Rome a few weeks ago, I loaded up on Italian food products that are really pricey in the states and only sort of pricey in Italy: Myrtle liquor, candied kumquats, truffle sauce, dried squid ink pasta, and a treasured bottle of truffle oil.

Arugula Salad with Burrata, Shaved Mushrooms, and Truffle Oil {Katie at the Kitchen Door}

Something about the mix of the ultra-rich burrata, zippy arugula, super thinly shaved mushrooms (that are almost creamy in texture), salty capers, and pungent truffle oil in this salad is absolutely intoxicating. Trevor thinks it’s just the fact that anything made with truffle oil and/or burrata (a super luxurious cream-filled fresh mozzarella, for those of you who aren’t familiar with it) is delicious, but I maintain that this is a special combination. The raw mushrooms soak up the truffle oil so that it’s almost like you’re eating a truffle itself when you bite into them, too. I really can’t get enough. I should note that a little bit of truffle oil goes a long way – you only have to use one or two teaspoons of oil per salad – so although it is certainly rich for a salad, it’s not over-the-top indulgent.

    Sounds delish! I’ve never actually tasted truffle oil as I refuse to buy the fake stuff and the good stuff is so dear. It’s on my list of must-tries for when I finally get to tour Italy!

    Yum! That burrata is just oozing with deliciousness! I bet the mildness goes wonderfully with the peppery arugula!

    This looks lovely! I love the bite of arugula paired with richer cheeses. I’ve got the truffle oil for this too!
