Make this salad once and you’ll be making it all summer. Melon, curry leaf and burrata may be an unlikely combo, but it's sweet, spicy, creamy and aromatic
View original recipe on bbcgoodfood.comFor the dressing, heat the oil in a small frying pan over a medium heat. Add the curry leaves and sizzle for 1-2 mins until aromatic (be careful as they will splutter). Add the nigella seeds for the final 30 seconds. Pour the hot oil, curry leaves and seeds into a bowl and leave to cool.
Mix the remaining ingredients for the dressing into the curry leaf oil and season well.
Arrange the melon and shallots on a platter, drizzle with most of the dressing and lightly toss together with your hands. Leave to macerate for 20-30 mins at room temperature.
Nestle the burrata into the salad, gently tear each ball open and season with a little flaky sea salt. Spoon over the remaining dressing.
