Heirloom Tomato Salad with Burrata

Name: Heirloom Tomato Salad with Burrata
Total time: 15 min
Yield: 4
Ingredients: 2 lbs mixed heirloom tomatoes, sliced or torn; 2 balls fresh burrata cheese; 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves; 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil; 1 tbsp aged balsamic vinegar; 1/2 tsp flaky sea salt; Freshly cracked black pepper; 1 clove garlic (optional, for rubbing the plate)

⏱ 15 min👤 Serves 4

Instructions

This is all about quality ingredients. Let tomatoes come to room temperature — never serve tomatoes cold.
Arrange tomatoes on a large platter, overlapping artfully. Season generously with flaky sea salt and freshly cracked pepper. Let sit 5 minutes — the salt will draw out the most beautiful tomato juices.
Tear burrata open and nestle among the tomatoes. Scatter fresh basil leaves. Drizzle generously with your best extra-virgin olive oil and a few drops of aged balsamic.
Serve immediately with crusty bread to soak up all the juices.

Notes

This dish is only as good as your tomatoes and olive oil. Buy the best you can find in peak summer. Do not refrigerate tomatoes — ever.
