Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables and Herbs
- 4 medium heirloom tomatoes (about 1 lb)
- 25 fresh basil leaves
Dairy
- 4.4 ounce burrata cheese ball (about 1 ball, may use 2 for more cheese)
Seasoning and Dressing
- Flaky sea salt, to taste (about 1/4 to 1/2 tsp)
- Freshly ground black pepper, about 1/8 tsp
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp aged balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Prepare the Tomatoes: Slice the heirloom tomatoes into approximately 1/4 inch thick slices and carefully arrange them in a single layer on a serving platter to create a beautiful base.
- Add Basil Leaves: Evenly scatter the fresh basil leaves over the arranged tomato slices, adding fresh herbs that complement the juicy tomatoes perfectly.
- Slice and Place Burrata: Using a serrated knife, cut the burrata cheese ball into bite-sized pieces (typically 8 pieces from a 4.4-ounce ball) and distribute them evenly on top of the tomatoes and basil.
- Season and Dress: Sprinkle flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper evenly over the tomatoes and burrata to enhance the flavors. Then drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and aged balsamic vinegar over the entire salad for a rich, balanced finish.
- Serve: Serve the salad immediately to enjoy the fresh, creamy, and tangy flavors at their best.
Notes
- Use ripe heirloom tomatoes for the best flavor and presentation.
- Burrata can be delicate; handle gently when slicing and arranging.
- If you prefer more cheese, use two burrata balls instead of one.
- This salad is best served fresh and not heavily refrigerated to maintain texture and flavor.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste depending on your preference.
