Tomato and Burrata Salad with A Provencal Lavender Twist
Maison Mirabeau Wines · Provencal Recipes · Salad · TasteIn reality, cooking with lavender isn’t au fait with the locals, but used with subtlety and restraint, the perfume of Provence pairs perfectly with the more traditional native ingredients – garlic, honey and oil – for this simple dressing. Serve with lots of bread for scooping up the juices. This Maison Mirabeau recipe makes for a perfect lunchtime meal or a first course for a summer dinner. Don’t forget the fresh baguette and, bien sûr, some of our Pure rosé.
Bon appétit!
