Servings 4 Servings
Ingredients
- 2 large heirloom tomatoes sliced into ¼-inch rounds
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 (250 g) ball of burrata cheese
- ½ cup fresh basil leaves
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp balsamic glaze
- ½ tsp flaky sea salt or to taste
- ¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper or to taste
Optional
- crusty bread for serving
Instructions
- Place the heirloom tomato slices on a large serving platter and scatter the cherry tomatoes over top.
- Tear the burrata into large pieces and nestle it among the tomatoes. Scatter the fresh basil leaves evenly throughout the salad. Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the tomatoes and burrata. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Drizzle lightly with the balsamic glaze and serve immediately.
Notes
Use ripe, in season tomatoes. Since this salad has so few ingredients, the quality of your tomatoes makes all the difference.
Let the burrata come to room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before serving for the creamiest texture and best flavour.
Go easy on the balsamic glaze. A light drizzle enhances the salad without overpowering the fresh tomatoes and burrata.
Assemble just before serving. This keeps the tomatoes from releasing too much liquid and the basil looking fresh.
Enjoy it fresh. Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day, but the texture is best the day it's made.
