Instructions

Blend and Strain

Start by tossing tomatoes, celery, jalapeño, and garlic into a blender. Add some water and blend everything until it’s super smooth. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to catch and discard the skins.

Whisk and Chill Sauce

Next, stir in lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, horseradish, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Give it a good whisk, then taste and tweak the seasoning until it feels just right. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge for at least a couple of hours so it gets nicely chilled.

Serve with Burrata

When you’re ready to serve, ladle about a cup of the cold Bloody Mary base into each bowl. Place a generous dollop of Burrata right in the center. Finish with a crack of black pepper and a drizzle of olive oil, then dig in!

Serving Suggestions

Pair this dish with crusty bread or crispy crostini to add crunch. It also works well alongside a light green salad or as part of a brunch spread. Garnish with fresh herbs like basil or chives for extra color and aroma.

Storage Tips

Store burrata separately from the tomato mixture in airtight containers. Keep both refrigerated and consume within 1-2 days for optimal freshness. Avoid storing the cheese mixed with the dressing to maintain its creamy texture.
