Equipment
- Cutting board
- Sharp knife
- Serving plate or shallow bowl
- Small mixing bowl
- Spoon
- Paper towels
Ingredients
For the Salad
- 3 large ripe tomatoes sliced
- 1 ball burrata 8 oz
- 1 small handful fresh basil leaves
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp balsamic glaze
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Optional Add-Ins
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 tbsp pesto
- A few olives
Instructions
- Rinse the tomatoes, pat them dry, and slice them into even rounds.
- Spread the slices out so they overlap slightly and look inviting.
- Place the burrata ball gently in the center or pull it apart into soft chunks.
- Pour olive oil slowly so it coats the tomatoes and burrata without drowning them. Tear the basil leaves by hand and scatter them for freshness.
- I like serving this salad right away while the burrata is cool and soft. A slice of toasted bread or warm focaccia makes the whole plate even better.
