Caprese, Not

There are plenty of Italian restaurants in Spain but good luck finding a Spanish restaurant in Italy. A caprese salad from Fabrica 23 in Palma, made with their funky vinaigrette of mustard, lemon juice and honey. You'd be shot for putting this on your caprese in Italy, but I have to say this somehow works! Fabrica 23 also uses burrata versus mozzarella, and rocket versus basil.

combination of tomatoes, halved and quartered rather roughly
burrata
rocket

vinaigrette:
equal parts whole grain and normal dijon mustard
honey
lemon juice
EVOO
S&P
  1. toss tomatoes and rocket separately in EVOO, S&P
  2. slice burrata into discs about an inch thick
  3. assemble by putting some rocket on a small plate, a disk of burrata on top, and some tomatoes all around
  4. drizzle vinaigrette over the whole lot
