Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Rinse the 1 cup rice in a fine-mesh strainer. In a small pot, bring 2 cups water to a boil, add rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 18 minutes. Fluff with a fork and let cool slightly.

  2. Step 2

    While rice cooks, halve the 1 cup cherry tomatoes and tear the 8 ounces burrata into bite-size pieces. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice the flesh.

  3. Step 3

    In a large bowl, whisk together the 3 tablespoons olive oil and the juice of 1 lemon. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Add the warm rice, tomatoes, and 2 cups mixed greens to the dressing. Toss gently until the greens are just wilted, about 1 minute.

  5. Step 5

    Top the salad with the avocado slices and burrata pieces. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil if you like, and serve immediately.
