This Fried Burrata Salad features a bed of radicchio and frisée accented with figs, prosciutto, and tangelo segments dressed in a white balsamic pickled shallot dressing organized around a ball of fried burrata.
Place the shallots in a small bowl, pour the white balsamic over top. Set aside to pickle. Place the burrata in the freezer and freeze for 20-30 minutes.
1 shallot, ¼ cup white balsamic vinegar, 1 ball burrata
While the burrata is in the freezer, wash the radicchio and frisée in a large colander. Shake off the excess moisture and set the greens aside to dry.
1 head frisée, 1 head radicchio
Arrange the baguette on a large baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and sprinkle with some salt. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake until golden, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
¼ cup + 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 baguette
In a bowl, whisk to combine the potato starch and 1 teaspoon of the salt. ** Place the bowl alongside the eggs, and panko breadcrumbs. Pour roughly 2 cups of oil into a large wok and place it over high heat. When the temperature reaches 300°F, take the burrata out of the freezer and coat it in the starch mixture, dip it in the eggs, and roll it in the panko breadcrumbs.
¼ cup potato starch, 1 ½ tsp salt, 2 large eggs, 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
Your oil should be between 350 -375°F by now. Add the burrata and fry for 5-7 minutes, spooning the oil over the top of the ball constantly. Take the burrata out of the oil and place it on a plate lined with a paper towel. Set aside.

Place the radicchio and frisée in a large bowl. Add the remaining, salt, and oil to the pickled shallots and whisk to combine. Pour half of the dressing over the greens and toss to coat.
