Some people think that everything tastes better with bacon, but I’d have to alter that a bit.  I am of the thought that everything might just taste better with burrata!  This Italian fresh mozzarella cheese is probably the-most-decadent of cheeses; the tender fresh mozzarella balls are filled with cream and when torn or cut open, they add the creamiest possible effect to any dish. This great idea for a simple salad of fresh fennel flavored with a lemony vinaigrette, is a perfect match for the rich cheese.  I also added some tender mache lettuce to the salad, and some sliced red tomatoes for color and added sweetness.
