This beet and burrata salad is one of the most beautiful plates I’ve ever made. Thin ribbons of jewel-toned beetroot, a pillowy ball of burrata, toasted pine nuts, and a scattering of basil or microgreens come together in minutes, but the plate reads like something out of a restaurant menu. A touch of Black Elderberry Elixir tossed with the sliced beets brings a deep, almost wine-like sweetness while quietly supporting immune health, and a spoonful of Collagen Booster whisked into the dressing turns this from a side dish into a beauty-from-within ritual.
The beet juice in the dressing does double duty, tinting the olive oil a soft rose-red and tying the whole plate together visually. Burrata is non-negotiable here for that creamy, oozy center, but in a pinch a good fresh mozzarella will still get you most of the way there.
What's Special About This Salad?
Black Elderberry Elixir is our double-extracted elderberry blend, traditionally used to support immune health and seasonal wellness.* Just a teaspoon tossed with the sliced beets adds a rich, slightly tart depth without announcing itself.
Collagen Booster whisked into the dressing is here for the glow. Formulated with He Shou Wu, Horsetail, Nettle, and Gynostemma, it's traditionally used to support the body's natural collagen production and connective tissue wellness. It blends seamlessly into the olive oil and beet juice, no grit, no flavor disruption.
