Recipe Note

Cook lentils however you prefer. You can also use leftover lentils from this salad, or check out our Instagram highlight on making lentils for New Year's Day.

Burrata balls come in different sizes, and your appetite for burrata should determine what size you want! Use at least 2 ounces, and up to 4 ounces for a good balance to a cup of lentils.

Sliced pepperoncino or cherry peppers are great here, as are small batch local pickled peppers with different flavors: pictured here are a combination of garlic pickled serrano, jalapeño, horn, and cherry peppers.
