Pasta and salad
The two go hand in hand together. I always need some carbs with my salads, I think it makes them more fun to eat and way more filling. I chose pasta for this one because burrata gives me all the Italian vibes so why not pair it with a little pasta! The honey dijon dressing is a perfect way to jazz up any carb or noodle especially in a salad.
You can use any style pasta you want for this recipe. You want the pasta to be small enough that it doesn't over power the salad, but not too small that it gets lost in the leafy greens. I suggest bow ties, penne, gemelli or casarecce.
I think the honey dijon dressing pairs really well with the creamy burrata over fresh greens. The noodles spread the dressing a little more so every bite is full of flavor.
