Prep Time: 11 min Cook Time: 1 min Total Time: 12 min
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds (675g) tomatoes, preferably Heirloom tomatoes or other good quality sweet summer tomatoes
7 ounces (200g) burrata cheese
1 twig basil leaves (about 10 leaves)
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
flaky sea salt (coarse salt)
freshly ground coarse black pepper
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
lemon juice (to taste, about 2 teaspoons)
Instructions
Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature (tomatoes have a better texture and the burrata will be more creamy).
Cut the tomatoes into wedges and arrange them on a large plate.
Place the burrata ball in the middle or tear the burrata into smaller pieces and arrange it between tomatoes.
Sprinkle with basil leaves (I like to leave smaller leaves whole and slice larger leaves).
Drizzle the salad with olive oil.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Cook the balsamic vinegar in a small pot until slightly thickened. Drizzle the salad with the glaze.
Drizzle with lemon juice to taste.
Enjoy!
