Tomato and Burrata Salad
The JUSTIN Sauvignon Blanc has a fresh, bright acidity that will cut through the creamy burrata of the dish. The arugula gives a nice spice and herbal element that lends itself to the grassy green flavors of the Sauvignon Blanc, and sweet heirloom tomatoes round out the dish. This dish is extremely effortless and a great crowd pleaser.
