Local Summer Truffle Caprese
Who says mozzarella is the only way to do caprese? This recipe subs the creamier burrata cheese, which originally hails from Puglia, Italy at the country's southern tip. But from the Charlotte Regional Farmer's Market, you'll find this tasty treasure locally sourced. Allow time for the shallots and thyme to macerate in vinegar and dijon — that's sure to achieve the perfect texture and lock in a touch of spice.
