Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Tomatoes

    Wash and dice the fresh tomatoes into small cubes, placing them in a medium mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Add Seasoning

    Drizzle the diced tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Pesto

    If using store-bought basil pesto, simply set it aside. If making homemade, blend fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil in a food processor until smooth.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Plate the Burrata

    Place the burrata cheese in the center of a serving platter.

  2. 5

    Add Tomato Mixture

    Spoon the seasoned diced tomatoes around the burrata cheese on the platter.

  3. 6

    Drizzle the Pesto

    Spoon the basil pesto over the burrata cheese, allowing some to drip onto the tomatoes.

  4. 7

    Finish with EVOO

    Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over the entire dish for added flavor.

  5. 8

    Garnish

    Top with fresh basil leaves as a garnish for a pop of color and flavor.
