Burrata, Tomato & Basil Salad
This salad is very similar to a caprese salad. The burrata is silky on the outside and creamy on the inside which boasts a richly sweet and milky flavor. Since burrata is a delicate cheese it should be handled as little as possible. I love this salad so much. It is great as a main dish by itself or layered with strips of grilled steak. It also makes a nice appetizer or side dish. The perfect combination of flavors and textures make this delicious salad truly magical.
INGREDIENTS
3 Ripe Tomatoes
12 Ounces Burrata Cheese
25 Fresh Basil Leaves

Cut the tomatoes into slightly thick slices. Very carefully slice the burrata cheese into slices. On a large shallow platter layer alternating the slices of tomatoes and burrata and top with basil leaves. Drizzle the salad with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Serve immediately. Serves 6
