Ingredients
2 balls burrata cheese (8oz each)
4 large heirloom tomatoes
1 cup fresh basil leaves
3 tablespoons premium extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt
Instructions
Slice the heirloom tomatoes into quarter-inch thick rounds using a serrated knife.
Arrange the tomato slices in an overlapping circular pattern on a chilled serving platter.
Place the burrata balls gently in the center of the tomato arrangement.
Tear the fresh basil leaves by hand into medium pieces and scatter over the salad.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil evenly over the tomatoes and cheese.
Sprinkle the flaky sea salt over the entire dish.
Apply the balsamic glaze in a decorative swirl pattern over the cheese before serving.
Notes
Ensure the burrata is served at room temperature to fully appreciate its creamy texture. Use a variety of tomato colors to make the presentation more striking. Serve immediately upon assembly to keep the basil fresh and the tomatoes at the perfect temperature.
