- 2 pounds broccolini, tough ends discarded, stalks peeled
- Kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon sherry wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 3 large button mushrooms (about 2 inches in diameter), stems discarded, caps sliced thin
- 1/2 small red onion, sliced thin, about 1/4 cup
- 1 cup black olives, preferably salt-cured such as Cerignola, pitted

- For the broccolini: Add 3 quarts water and 1/4 cup kosher salt to 4 quart saucepan. Bring to a boil. Meanwhile, fill large bowl halfway with water and one tray of ice cubes. Add broccolini to boiling water and blanch until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer broccolini to ice bath using tongs or wire mesh spider. Chill until completely cold, about 5 minutes. Transfer to colander to drain.
- While broccolini is chilling, combine sherry vinegar and red wine vinegar in medium bowl. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Toss broccolini with half of vinaigrette in large bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper. Toss the mushroom slices in a small bowl with 2 tablespoons vinaigrette and season with salt and pepper. Select 20 of the most attractive onion slices. Arrange broccolini on platter or on individual plates. Top with mushrooms, olives, and selected onion slices. Tear burrata into 6 pieces and place on top of salad. Serve immediately.
