Eating In // Burrata Salad

This is basically that classic Caprese salad, you know the sliced tomato, mozzarella, basil deal that's on every menu in the summertime. The difference here, is the Burrata. Creamy and heavenly, it's brothers with fresh mozzarella and makes the dish a little bit more exciting. I know I've said this time and time again, but the quality of ingredients makes such a difference here. Everything is raw and chilled with minimal dressing- make sure each layer tastes good on its own. Eat it for dinner tonight with some fresh bread. 

Ingredients: 

Serves 6 

  • 1 pound of a variety of tasty tomatoes- whatever is the prettiest and tastiest you can get your hands on, sliced up
  • 2 burrata loaves 
  • 1 bunch basil, torn into pieces
  • 1/4 cup (more or less) balsamic vinegar 
  • 1/2 cup (more or less) olive oil 
  • flaky sea salt such as Maldon 

Directions: 

1. Slice the tomatoes and tear the basil, arrange on a plate.

2. Plop the cheese right on top and then lightly drizzle the entire salad with the oil and vinegar.

3. Sprinkle the sea salt on top and then eat it up.
