Cotton Row Heirloom Tomato and Italian Burrata Price

The Heirloom Tomato and Italian Burrata is a classic Italian-inspired salad at Cotton Row, featuring fresh basil, crostini, a shallot vinaigrette, and aged balsamic. This appetizer balances the creamy, rich texture of the burrata cheese with the sweetness and slight acidity of the heirloom tomatoes, all brought together by the sharp, sweet aged balsamic and a savory vinaigrette. The dish is priced at $14.00.

The salad is assembled by pairing the soft, fresh Italian burrata, which has a solid mozzarella outer shell and a creamy stracciatella interior, with slices of ripe heirloom tomatoes. The dish is then dressed with the shallot vinaigrette and drizzled with aged balsamic, served alongside crisp crostini for textural contrast. Its light and refreshing profile makes it an excellent starter before a richer main course, such as the Porcini and Truffle Mushroom Ravioli with beef short rib.

The Cotton Row Heirloom Tomato and Italian Burrata reviews from customers describe the dish as a favorite salad among all restaurants and note that it comes highly recommended. The dish has similar qualities to the Burrata appetizer at Purveyor, another Huntsville restaurant, which pairs the fresh cheese with seasonal fruit and prosciutto.
