Instructions

Slice Heirloom Tomatoes: Slice the heirloom tomatoes into ⅓-inch thick slices and arrange them neatly on a serving dish to form the base layer of the salad.
Prepare Cherry Tomatoes: Cut the cherry tomatoes in halves and scatter them evenly on top of the heirloom tomato slices, adding bursts of sweetness and color.
Add Fresh Basil: Chop the fresh basil leaves into small pieces or tear them gently, then sprinkle over the tomatoes to infuse the salad with aromatic freshness.
Place Burrata Cheese: Cut or tear the burrata cheese into bite-sized pieces and place them generously on top of the tomatoes and basil, adding creamy richness to the dish.
Season and Dress: Lightly season the salad with sea salt and ground black pepper, then drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar to enhance flavors. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh textures and tastes.

Notes

For best flavor, use ripe, fresh heirloom tomatoes and high-quality burrata cheese.
Adjust the amount of olive oil and balsamic vinegar based on your taste preference.
You can substitute fresh basil with other fresh herbs like mint or oregano for a different twist.
This salad is best served fresh and should be eaten soon after assembling to prevent the tomatoes from becoming watery.
To keep burrata soft, store it in the refrigerator and take out just before serving.
