1 lb ripe heirloom tomatoes, mixed varieties
2 balls fresh burrata cheese
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic glaze Shop
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1 Gently wash and slice the heirloom tomatoes into wedges or thick rounds, about 1/2 inch thick. Arrange the tomato slices artfully on a large serving platter, ensuring they are spread out evenly. This step should take about 5 minutes.
2 Carefully tear or cut the burrata cheese balls in half, allowing the creamy interior to spill out slightly. Place the burrata halves strategically among the tomato slices on the platter. This delicate process takes about 2 minutes.
3 Roughly chop the fresh basil leaves, or tear them into smaller pieces if preferred. Scatter the basil generously over the tomatoes and burrata. This adds a fragrant, herbaceous aroma and visual appeal, taking approximately 1 minute.
4 Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil evenly over the entire salad, ensuring each component gets a light coating. Then, artfully drizzle the balsamic glaze in thin lines across the salad for a touch of sweetness and acidity. This final dressing step takes about 1 minute.
5 Season the salad with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Allow the salad to rest for about 5 minutes at room temperature before serving, which helps the flavors meld beautifully. The total preparation time for this step is minimal.
