4-5 handfuls of fresh spring leaves 

10 leaves of fresh basil

Heat your oven to 200C. 

Slice your baguette into small cubes and place them in a large bowl. Pour 2 tablespoons of olive oil over them and season with salt and garlic powder. Toss. 

Lay a sheet of baking paper over a baking tray, spread out your bread cubes over it and bake for 15 minutes until crispy. Set aside. 

In a small bowl, mix your balsamic vinegar, honey, remaining olive oil and mustard well until combined fully. 

Place your washed salad leaves in a serving bowl. Scatter in your cherry tomatoes and place your whole burrata in the bowl, spaced out.  

Next, scatter in your home-made croutons. Season with salt and pepper and pour your dressing over the salad. Lastly, garnish with shredded fresh basil leaves and serve!
