Ingredients
  

4 large ripe heirloom tomatoes (variety of colors if possible)

8 ounces burrata cheese

ΒΌ cup extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

1 teaspoon sea salt

Freshly cracked black pepper to taste

1 cup fresh basil leaves

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Optional: a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for heat

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tomatoes: Rinse the heirloom tomatoes under cool running water. Slice them into a range of sizes - some into wedges and others into thick rounds or irregular chunks for visual appeal. Arrange the tomato pieces on a large serving platter.

    Add the Burrata: Gently tear the burrata into large pieces with your hands, revealing the creamy interior. Place the pieces strategically over the tomatoes to create a beautiful presentation.

      Drizzle with Olive Oil and Balsamic: In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze. Drizzle this mixture generously over the tomatoes and burrata.

        Season: Sprinkle the sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper over the salad, adjusting the amounts to your taste. Be generous, as this enhances the flavors!

          Add Freshness: Toss the fresh basil leaves around the salad. If desired, you can also tear some of the basil leaves for added texture.

            Finish with Lemon Juice: Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the entire salad for a burst of brightness.

              Optional Heat: For those who enjoy a little heat, sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes over the top.

                Serve: This salad is best served immediately at room temperature. Enjoy the vibrant colors and fresh flavors!
