    Prepare the Ingredients

    Begin by gathering and preparing all your ingredients. Rinse the tomatoes and basil leaves under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Slice the Tomatoes

    Cut the ripe tomatoes into thick slices, about 1/2 inch thick. Arrange them on a large serving platter.

    Tear the burrata cheese into smaller pieces to make it easier to serve. Also, slice the fresh mozzarella into thick rounds, similar to the tomatoes.

    On top of the tomato slices, alternate layers of burrata and mozzarella cheese. Place the torn burrata pieces and mozzarella rounds evenly over the tomatoes.

    Add Fresh Basil

    Scatter the fresh basil leaves over the top of the assembled cheese and tomato layers, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

  6. 6

    Drizzle with Olive Oil

    With a spoon, drizzle the extra virgin olive oil evenly over the entire salad for added flavor.

  7. 7

    Finish with Balsamic Glaze

    Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the salad for a touch of sweetness and a beautiful presentation.
