Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice Heirloom Tomatoes

    Wash the heirloom tomatoes under cold running water. Using a sharp knife, slice each tomato into thick rounds, approximately 1/2 inch thick. Arrange the tomato slices on a serving platter.

  2. 2

    Prepare Burrata

    Gently remove the burrata cheese from its packaging. Using your hands or a knife, tear the burrata into smaller pieces, leaving some larger chunks for presentation. Place the burrata on top of the sliced tomatoes.

  3. 3

    Add Fresh Basil

    Take the fresh basil leaves and tear them into smaller pieces if desired. Scatter the basil leaves over the tomatoes and burrata.

Drizzling and Seasoning

  1. 4

    Drizzle with EVOO

    Using a spoon, drizzle the extra virgin olive oil evenly over the tomatoes and burrata, ensuring they are lightly coated.

  2. 5

    Add Balsamic Vinaigrette

    Add a tablespoon of balsamic vinaigrette over the salad, allowing it to enhance the flavors.

  3. 6

    Season to Taste

    Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the dish to taste, adjusting the seasoning to your preference.
