Game meats may be what you know us best for, but we know a thing or two about salads 🥬😎

While the burrata is the star of this show, it wouldn’t be anywhere without its supporting cast! Red and golden beets 🫜, prosciutto, cherry tomatoes and balsamic vinaigrette work together perfectly to complement the burrata cheese and mixed greens. 😋
